Love Poem: If You Only Knew

If You Only Knew

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

Look into my eyes
And what do you see?
A faker? A liar?
Oh please pity me

If you only knew
The pain that I bare
If you only knew
My total despair

Maybe you would then
 Start to see the smile 
That fades behind my glee

The anger I feel
It boils inside
As I try and explain
Yet again I confide

But still to no avail
You still say it is me
What can I do?
To make you see

I need some help
Somebody please
It is not for attention
I just feel so alone

Why can you not see?
Why can you not hear?
What can I do?
To make my voice more clear

Will someone please help me?
Just take my hand
There is not much more 
That I can withstand

You look into my eyes
What did you see?
A faker? A liar? 
So you turn your back on me
