I Wish You Knew Me Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I...
Wish you knew me.
Like you said you did.
I wish you knew me,
When I thought it already done.
I wish you knew me,
Like you said you did.
But now that I'm told,
We are done...
That hip-hopping all over town...
You accused me that I would do,
Well...
I didn't.

I...
Wish you knew me.
Before it was over and done.
I wished you...
Had believed in me,
To have that one on one.
I wsih that you knew me,
For what I came to give.
Instead of listening to the others,
About what I wanted to get.

I wish you,
Knew me.
And not believe what you hear.
I wish you,
Knew me.
To know what I'm like when you're near.
But no chance did you give,
When I wanted it.
And from you.
When...
I wanted it.
And from you.
When I...
Wanted it.
And from you.
When...
I wanted it.

I wish you...
Knew me.
When I wanted it.

At night when I try to close my eyes,
They're open wide.
Wishing deep down inside,
You knew me.
It could've been a benefit.
If...
This had been your wish.
