Heartbroken😪💔

 What do I have to do to get you to notice me?

Change my hair, the way I walk?

My clothes, the way I talk?

We've known each other for some time now,

Yet I'm still invisible to you. 

My feelings run deep and how

I wish you only knew.

I see your face every time I close my eyes.

To me, you just seem so different from the other girls.

To you, I'm just a friend,

Nothing more, nothing less.

I settle for friendship in the end

Because I don't want to make a mess.

Instead, I'll keep my secret to myself

And take my pride back off the shelf.

Until one day you finally see

That you and I were meant to be.

I'll wait for now but not too long

Because sooner or later I'll be gone.

So when will you notice me?

I lie awake tonight,

Wishing of things I can change.

I try to convince myself,

But it's all so strange.

Is it me,

Or is it you?

Do I try,

Or are we through?

So long we've shared

Just to walk away.

But so much hurt

To want to stay.

Why do we do this,

Try to hurt the other more,

Only to watch one

Walk right out the door?

I love you so much,

Yet I push you to the point of breaking,

But why do you play with my heart

And never stop taking?

Is this the end

Or a new beginning?

Only one can guide me

When my head is spinning.

Don't push,

Don't try,

Don't stress,

Don't cry.

That is what plays

Over in my head

As I try to close my eyes

And just go to bed .
