Notes About The Poem

Impasse

We are at an impasse
There's nothing I can say
at this point I think you're 
better off if I just go away

I tried to talk to you
Just to explain how I feel
I try my best to keep it real

But you don't hear me when
I tell you I'm sad and I miss you
You only see complaints being issued

I pour out my heart to you
but you say being depressed 
Is something I choose to be
but I just miss you so much
can't you see??

So, I bite my tongue so hard 
there's blood in my mouth
I don't know what to say anymore
But I need to let it out

I'm confused and I feel 
like we're out of touch
Maybe I say I love you 
way too ing much.

You accused me of being 
like a broken record
on repeat 
over and over 
with no retreat.

At this point 
I know I should 
probably just go away
because I make you miserable 
when I stay.

But like a moth to a flame 
you just keep drawing me back
I want to be near you
without all this flack.

It's funny 
all you really had to say 
was "I miss you too"
but you never did which makes me
so ing blue.

This is interesting. Certainly it is a clever poem of unrequitted love. People communicate in various ways. Nice work.
