If you knew
What this is doing to me
If you knew
How much I cared
If you knew
the pain, the anxiety
The worry I feel for you

If you knew
How much your words hurt me
If you knew
That I felt cut off
If you knew
That all I want to do is help you
And lessen your pain

If you knew
How much I want to talk to you
If you knew
How much I'd say if you'd let me
If you knew
That I'm going crazy here
Worrying about you.

Then would you
Let me write to you?
Then would you
Open your heart to me?
Then would you
Let me in, let me ease your pain
Heal your broken heart?

Then would you please
Think of how I feel?
Then would you please
Remember I'm hurt too?
Then would you please
Recall that this would hurt me?
My mind's going crazy over you.


Please. Talk to me. Or at least let me talk to you.
A friend of mine. She told me she was going away and not to comment on anything until she came back. But she never went away, and I can't say anything, even though her poems are driving me crazy with worry.

Stay safe honey, if you're reading this. Take the time you need, but please let me know that you're safe.

This is amazing. I'm going through exactly how this poem feels...if that makes sense.
