Stop...

I want you
But you keep hurting me
Every time I try to talk
I give up from all the pain
But you don’t even care
You just act like I’m not there
That I’m not even alive
But to you, I never was
You never thought about me
You never cared how I was doing
You never even tried to pretend that you cared
You say sorry
But those are just words
You never prove it
Because you don’t care enough to try
All those times that I told you I cared
I meant it
But you didn't even take the time to ask why
I talk about you all the time
But it’s usually just complaining
When it’s not
It’s explaining why I love you
When I think about you
I tell myself to stop
But then I remind myself of all the reasons
All the reasons I love you
And then there’s that one person
Who tells me all the reasons to stop
Without you realizing how I feel
I’m not sure why
But it’s hard to keep going on
As I sit here thinking about you
I want to stop
But I know that if I was going to
I would've already
As I talk to you
I want to tell you everything
But I can’t help to remember
That you don’t care
That you never will
Sometimes you act like I’m everything to you
But then you remember who I am
And you suddenly forget everything
Everything that you told me
Everything that you confessed
It all just blew away
But I still remember
I still think about the littlest things that you told me
Just because I care enough
I hate that I love you
But I can’t stop
I've tried
I've tried everything
Somehow I need to
Stop...

Everything that I wrote in my poem, came from my heart. I wrote exactly what I was feeling as I wrote this. As it may apply to other people, my goal was to just let out everything that I was feeling. Maybe people will start thinking differently then I do, but I don't know.
