I Truly Don't Understand

by Kyleene   Jun 8, 2006


You asked me to be your girlfriend
And I said yes
Yet you ignore me, treat me like no one important
Unless someone else is around
I've tried so hard to grab your attention
Try to produce some need or want for me in your cold feelings
I thought men were supposed to call the girls they want to be with
But I have to call you
I see you around school
And I smile to snatch your attention
But it still doesn't seem to work
The last time we went out,
You at least talked to me
Now you put your arm around my waist
As if to show our classmates that you possess me
Yet you ignore me at the same point
Why is this?
I'm sorry, but I truly don't understand
Did you lie to me when you said you wanted to be with me?
Why do you have to play with my heart?
Especially when you know that it is already tattered and sore
My confidants try to make excuses for your odd behavior
I try to be a faithful and trustworthy girlfriend
But at times, it's hard
Mainly when you don't acknowledge me as anything but a dog at your side
I truly don't understand
What I've done wrong
I want to be the one to heat the ice around your heart
I wish to be the girl your eyes set upon
I yearn to be the only female to satisfy you in your life
I bet you to let me be there for you,
To help you through hard times and strife
I didn't take you as a boyfriend just for the pleasure to be ignored
I agreed to be with you to have someone care for me
Being a female and a human being,
I need affection
And I want to receive it from you
