Understand Me

You say I understand you

You say I can read you like an open book

You say I make you happy

But do you see what I go through?

You say I’m important

You say you like spending time with me

You say that you’ll never leave

But will you ever know what I feel?

I don’t tell you I’m depressed 

I fear what you’ll think of me

I don’t tell you I’m stressed

I fear you might leave me

I’m drowning in my own thoughts

Nothing feels good and swell

I’m not good with words you know

So I hope you read what my eyes tell

I’m hoping you will understand 

Without me telling you anything 

But maybe just like every other time

Heartache is only what my expectations will bring.......
