Why Don't You See ®

by Sarah   Sep 11, 2004


I yearn for you each day I breathe.
Yet you act as if you don't care and you leave.
Just to think you care would be enough.
These feelings of loneliness are so rough.
Why don't you see?

When I try to make love to you, all I get is "No".
Your feelings for me, you will not show.
I sit here and dream of our better days.
Trying to get back to them in so many ways.
Why don't you see?

My pain I can't explain to you.
The reality of mine, is not your point of view.
Questions I ask and dreams are not appeased.
I wonder if my life you want released??
Why don't you see?

My life I've given over to your heart and soul.
But these days of neglect can take their toll.
A hint of attention would work like a charm.
Walking beside me, you'd take my arm
Why don't you see?

I can't make you want me even though I've tried.
The nights awake and alone I have sat and cried.
Wanting to have what you won't share.
Believing, maybe you just don't care.
Why don't you see?

We share the same bed and yet we're miles apart.
How I'd love to have you back to when our love did start.
The look in your eyes could melt any metal.
You never made me feel like this love was just a "settle".
Why don't you see?

So now I write my feelings down here.
Longing to for you to say, "I love you dear."
I want you to love me and say that its so.
Otherwise my love, shall we let this go?
Why don't you see??
