I Look For Peace

I brought it up, you dismissed it.

I look at you, you look away.

What did I do to deserve this?

Was it something I said?

Something I wrote?

Something I didn't do?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I can't be perfect for you.

I'm sorry I can't be as happy with you as you thought I was.

I'm not a bad person, you just don't understand.

You don't understand how it feels to stand next to the one you love, and not be together.

You don't understand how I feel about you, you never will.

I keep it all inside.

I keep it all tucked away so you won't see that it is you.

It is you who I look to for support.

It is you who I lean on when I am broken.

It is you who I love.

It is you who I feel lost with.

I'm in a room full of people, but I've never felt so alone.

You bring it up, I dismiss it.

You look at me, I have to let you go.

I love you, but you will never understand.

I scream for you, your silence is the only thing I will ever hear.
