Open Your Eyes

If only you could be
The way I want you to,
I'd never have to worry
about you hurting me
the way you do.

See me in the hall,
But you just look away,
If only you could be
aware of me,
Then maybe you could see
The way your treating me,

As I walk alone in the dark
wondering where to go,
I think of all the things I know,
Think of how things are,
And how they could be,
Everything is so messed up,
If only you could see?

loneliness is the worst when you see the one you want, but if you had to tell him where to look, how to act, what to do, would he still be the one you want?

as everyone has already stated, it's easy to relate to this poem and that's why it nearly drove me to tears reading it. it's a shame that people walk around with the skin grown over their eyelids. powerful and compelling write!
