You can't turn your head to my face.
You cannot look me in the eyes.
How long has it been? 
I want to hug you but I cannot tell,
If you are putting on an act of if you really mean well.
At this point, will I ever be able to believe in you?
The real question is if I will ever be able to believe in us.
Now I'm feeling like there never was such thing as "us".
Just "me" thinking "you" felt the same...
If only I had the nerve to risk my pride and ask you.
If I could have the guts to tell you everything.
Why don't I have this courage anymore? 
Well, after painful rejection, heartbreak, and being ignored,
I have grown cynical of even thinking of you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
