I am almost ready to give up for good Accept I will never be understood Obviously there are not words to explain I'm so ****** up inside my brain And if I could describe the problem you don't care You made it evident you loathe the poetry I share I read them to reach to you as a means to express The emotions I have no other way to confess It makes not a difference which words I use The last thing you want is to walk in my shoes I am tired of bothering your shoulders with the weight Of issues and making you participate I am done forcing you to let me in This is the last poem I'll read to you and it's to inform you win You don't want to know my love or who I truly am No amount of pleading makes you give a **** If you were in the gallery of reasons behind Irrational behavior you'd look and find But you do not wish to know me or me to know you I beg you to stop pretending you want to Because watching you willingly choose to spend Time you can apart from me makes me want to end Not understanding why I want to be with someone Constantly letting me know how worthless I've become I am not saying you're wrong I'm just letting you know If nothing changes I will have to go I will still write poems But alone I will deal NEVER AGAIN will you have the burden of listening to how I feel
I wrote this at a particularly low point in my relationship with paul. We were fighting all the time, life was especially difficult, and I was sorting through a fuckload of emotional baggage. I treated him unfairly and in return he bottled up his resentment and fear inside. This was written on the back of my notebook because I ran out of paper, at my best friend's house, Outside, in the wind, while I was bawling my eyes out. This resulted in a huge explosive fight and he called my parents without telling me and my dad showed up to take me home in the middle of the night, It was so awful and embarrassing. But a great poem came out of it!
