Torn

You don't know what I feel
You don't know what I think
No one does
Everything is swept under a rug
Yet floats through the air
You don't think I remember?
Well, how could I forget?
If your not talking about it
Someone else is
You pull me one way
For me to be pulled again
Back and forth like its a game of tug-a-war
I know what your thinking
Who cares about you?
About your opinion
Your thoughts
You choose to let my word slide
You think I agree with you
Your not wrong
But your also not right
I love you all can't you see?
By choosing a side
My love is never full
It was all great
Then it was shattered
Now it is changing
Again and again
What sucks is what I can't do
I can't make it all better
This occupies my thoughts
To no end at night 
I think about life and where I am today
Without you 
By now I'd have withered away
So now you know how I feel
And you know what I think
But I know that don't mean a single thing.

Jessica, Even if to you he never became a big deal and at all did not having any appeal. There is only one answer for all of this. Write more poems for us to read and do take heed. Jim Horn
