Merely exhausted… who ever knew seeking friendship, trust, and acceptance could be so hard?
I stay up late just to talk to you
I don’t go to sleep until you laugh
I make sure you’re all right every time
And in fact, I do care…
I do want you as a friend
But I feel overwhelmingly exhausted
They say to love is nothing,
To be loved is something,
And to love and be loved is everything
But I feel loved, and all my love is gone
In a friendly way, of course
I love you, I don’t want you to feel sad
I don’t want you to feel left out
And I most definitely don’t want you to die.
I guess staying up and talking to you
Is worth every bit of it
But when it’s time for me to cry
And my turn to let it all out
Where have you been?
Why haven’t you respected my choices
My thoughts, my words,
My feelings, my love,
My random and useless comments?
I have feelings,
It may be hard to see.
It may be hard to feel,
But it’s true… you may not think so.
I need love, too…
I need to be asked why I’m feeling down too
I don’t need your words of sorry
Nor your ignorance…
But your friendship
And your belief, your trust
Your accompaniment,
You.
I feel so… exhausted
Just to seek friendship
I die half the way getting there
