All I Wanted

just a venting poem for a "friend"

All I wanted was an ear
to just listen and hear
and give advice and suggest
things you think would be best

Instead you shut me out
and you scream and shout
about these lies I told
and these stories I sold

All I asked was for a shoulder
for me to rest and cry over
about my problems of daily life
without the constant strife

Then you think I like you
more than I actually do
and you want to kiss me
and you don't understand there isn't a we

All I wanted to do was explain
about my feelings, not to cause pain
because what I felt is no longer real
I'm sorry but this is how I feel

Then you scream and you yell
and you damn me to hell
you said all I did was lie
and that I deserved to die

All I wanted was a friend
who'd be with me till the end
to share my cheer and sorrows
and be there for many tomorrows

Instead you threw it all away
End of story you say
Our relationship to you never mattered
so you dropped it and let it shatter
