My feelings for u, they&#8217;re just too deep. Every time I see u cry I just can&#8217;t watch and sit by. I&#8217;m hear to listen but u won&#8217;t speak. Wen u feel down I feel weak. I want to help, but how can I? U won&#8217;t tell me so y even try? Where&#8217;s that bright, sassy girl I fell in love with? Or was that a fake front and a myth? I care too much too see u hurt, to treat urself worse than dirt. U say we&#8217;re cool but we&#8217;re not the same, we haven&#8217;t gon farther or had any gains. I&#8217;m no longer the person that can make I feel better just by a txt. Which is Wat hurts the most n gives me the wrecks. Talking is the only way we&#8217;ll grow, but we can&#8217;t do that or that other side will show. I&#8217;m scared n I feel like I&#8217;ve let u down, but shit, how can I help if u don&#8217;t make a sound. God doesn&#8217;t give us more than we can bare. We don&#8217;t have to deal with it alone, we can share. Keeping those feelings inside will eat u alive, and God do I need u alive. U r the God \u00a0knows love of my life, and because of that u don&#8217;t even have to be my wife. I will stay faithful to the end, but wen will that other side win? I feel us drifting apart, and I don&#8217;t know how to get that spark to restart. I love u more than life itself, but maybe that&#8217;s not enough. Maybe I lied to myself. Ur heading down a path of self destruction, and I don&#8217;t know how to get u the strength to refunction. U can now tell everyone but me how u feel. And now it&#8217;s feels like we&#8217;re not even real. I look at u tell others n it just pisses me off now. So all I can be like is wow. Help me help u. Tell me Wat to do and that&#8217;s Wat I&#8217;ll do. Help me help u to keep those thoughts pure, so our future will be more sure. Help me help u, so in the end we draw closer and save me too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a poem by [theo] <\/p>\n<p>I look at u and I weep.
