affection wasted (Free verse) by milkymilk
I gave the world to you, I gave it all, and I gave my best But what I receive is a sharp pain in my chest I suggest to you what to do whenever you?re distressed But you just make up excuses and treat me like a pest There are times you did care though But those times were rare And I want you to know All I wanted was for my life to share I even sacrificed my best friend And even so, he was still here right to the very end But that pain when I had to You just thought he was rude The times I tried to help And you said no one can help you You can?t even appreciate how much I care for you I?ve cried so many nights I?ve been up so many nights hugging the pillow tight And I?ve told you this And still you didn?t appreciate I loved you, I was there, and I cared But all you did was cut off the leg of my chair I wanted you to be happy, I wanted to make you happy But all I did was made you sad and made myself crappy You never listen to what I have to say I try to suggest some things and you just turn them away Why do you live in the past? Time; it goes by very fast But I guess you won?t even listen to what I just said I?m tired of crying until my eyes turn blood red Why do you think its pity? And why are you so tired of this city? Your right no one can understand Therefore no one can help you You even ignore my feeble attempts to try But I guess your love was just a lie You just wanted company But you could have found it in your friends They are the ones closer to you, their shoulders are their to lend I even told you that But I guess it doesn?t matter because you think all of them are rats You don?t care about them Obviously you don?t care about me either And the times I cared for you that neither Why do you think I take it so seriously? Wouldn?t anyone who cared take it seriously? I?ve said enough and I?ve cried enough girl Just go out and have fun in the world But listen to this and listen to this close Treat the other guys better Oh I?m sorry you don?t listen. Because I don?t understand.

I'm not one to cry but my eyes got a little misty reading that. I've been in that boat too.
