Please Make Me Understand Poem by Courtney Casebolt

Well you’ve poisoned me with
Every venomous kiss
And I already know that
I’m the one you miss
But I’m not the one you’re with
Chorus
Please make me understand
Why I’m crawling on the floor
Why it’s your hand
I’m reaching for
Your love that
Keeps me wanting more
Please tell me why
I’m standing on the edge
Tears falling down my face
Cause it’s you I can’t replace
Please help me understand
Why it’s the pieces of my heart
I’m looking for

You call me up telling me
About your new girlfriend
Got me thinking it’s the end
I try to pull you through
But I feel there’s no other way to reach you

Chorus

If I said I love you
Would you tell me the truth?
Or would you try to make me see
That you just want to leave?
