8/2/11 Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

Explain to me how you're feeling inside,
Do your best but please don't cry,
Pour your heart out,
I'm the only one here and I am listening,
Scream your deepest secrets,
I am not here to judge you,
Let me feel what you feel,
I want to know what you know,
I need what you need.
I love what you love,
You're in love with me and I hate myself,
Don't think it'll get any better,
I can't help you anymore,
I have to set you free,
Please forgive me,
It's been too long since I've done this,
There goes our plans for the future,
I don't know what to tell you,
But I know that what you want to hear,
I am afraid to tell you this but I have not even begun to explain myself.
