Never There

You're never there, Even when you know I'm hurting. You're gone away somewhere, When you know I'm in pain. The times when I need to talk to you most, The times when you promise a word, You're not there, You're never there. So today, When I needed you To tell me everything was ok, You weren't there. Today I needed you To hold me And make everything all right, And you weren't there. What am I going to do Next time I need you, And you're... Not there? What am I supposed to do When I need your shoulder To rest my head on, And cry my tears? How am I supposed to do this When you're never there When I need you to be, There for me? How am I supposed to make this work When I'm finally ready to open, Ready to tell you all, And you're not there? What do you want me to do Next time I am looking For comfort from you, And you're not there? What do you want me to do When you say you'll be there So I call on you, And you're not there? I don't know How many more tears I can stand to cry by my self Because you're not there. I don't know How many more nights I can spend alone Because you're not there. You said you'd be there, You said we'd talk, But when I called on you tonight, You weren't there. So now I'm sitting here, Writing a poem Dedicated to you So you will know... I don't know How I can hold on When I can't depend On you to be there. Because I know, I can depend On you for anything... Right? Because I know, That you know the pain I feel, And you'd never leave me alone... Right? I know You're not like them all And I can put my trust in you... Right? What I'm wondering now Is that If that's the case Why weren't you there tonight? Tonight I needed you And you, My dependable buddy, Weren't there.My other poem, "Always There" is far more acurate to now, if you know me and are reading this. I simply reworded this poem to better fit my current situation, "Never There" is just what came out first. Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 03:20 PM PST, Katie   0 • 8
