Description
It feels like thisLike a dark tunnel that never ends
And the sky of a setting sun
Has lost its perfection
It feels like
I've been waiting
And knocking for years
At your door
I know that you're in there
I know you can hear me
I've been pleading
I hope you're okay
But I feel helpless
And I cannot help you
If you don't let me in
Your feelings aren't only felt by you
They're felt by me too
When someone lets you down
Even when it's me
My heart bleeds
I'm sorry my friend
I cannot be more
I cannot be more
I cannot be more
Than what you allow me to be
You do matter
Believe me
You do matter
And you mean so much
So open your doors
Open up
And let me in
Please let me see
Who you really are
What you're really hiding from
Nothing could be worse
Than staying locked away forever
I feel like
I used to be just like you
And I'd be happy if only you stepped out
We could be happy together
I realize that freedom is a risk
But we all share the same risks
We all bleed the same blood
And we all breathe the same air
We all share the same pain
Mistakes are worth making
Please open up
You know that I'm here
You know what I'm thinking
And it feels like
The night has lost all of its mystery
Because your smile will no longer
Outshine the stars

the end is exceptional as well as the i cannot be more than you will allow me to be. its overall good, sometimes i think it could be more.. eloquent i guess, but im just geared that way. anyway, well done.

Nice words to end the poem. To me, this whole thing is the long reply to the classic, angst-ridden, "You don't know how I feel!" *slits wrists*
A bit more vertically, my dear. You're doing it all wrong.

hmm yeah i know how that feels..like youre paranoid that someone isnt telling you everything and you just want to be there for them but they wont let u? espically when its someone REALLY close to you..and it hurts so bad that you cry when they cry. And youre only happy when theyre happy... yep know how it feels
Great poem
