| Am I Really There? by � chibilunacat I hear you, I see you- Around me every day, You talk and I listen, You laugh and I cry- You are talking to me, But am I really there? The sound of your anger, The sound of your pain- Crying and fighting, It seems all the same, You want some one to hug you- But do I really care? You are talking to anyone, It matters not who- I just happen to listen- Whether or not I want to, Delight in abominations But can I really share? You're here for yourself, You're here, a fake friend- What does it matter anyway, If I haven't listened- You can't understand me, But am I really there? Where in this world Is there room for us both, In the middle of the day- In the middle of the night, You're opening your heart up, But do I really care? You're begging and pleading, For someone to understand- You think you can have everything, In your greedy little hand, Why must you whisper it? Can I really share? The fire nside you I wish would turn out, The missery you bring Is needless to say Upon my ears and eyes, But am I really there? I've wondered and pondered, And come up a dead end- Why exactly are you here, Instead of with a friend? You argue you have feelings But do I really care? It isn't a mistake, That brings you my way- Borrowing and laughing, Acting your play. You cry and I hear you, But can I really share? The barking of dogs- Is much like your noise Would you really stand up- To the good ol' boys, You are reaching out for me- But am I really there? I've shuddered and shivered, And paid all my dues- All I can show for it- Is broken and lost, You say that you need me- But am I really there? You say that I am That you see me, you hear- My voice whispers softly, But I'm shouting in ears- Are you so sure that I am? Am I really there? Terra Mae 3/19/2002 |
