Can'T He See? Poem by Jennifer Sol

These tears won’t stop falling
My heart just keeps breaking
Can’t he see that I love him

No one seems to understand
How I feel, the intense pain
It’s almost like they stopped caring
Can’t they see this isn’t just a thing

Every thought of him is heaven
And hell at the same time
His laugh, his smile, his smell
Push the pain away for a little while
Can’t anyone see I’m sick of pretending

He doesn’t love me he likes her
In his eyes I’m just a friend
I’m just Jennifer, nothing more
Can’t I just get over him

I love him too much to let go
I don’t want to feel the hurt
I just want to be happy again
Can’t my heart just move on

They hate seeing me like this
They hate that I can’t get over him
They hate that I cry myself to sleep
Can’t they see that I hate it too

Those dreams, false hope
Torture me. All that wishing
And hoping…all for nothing
Can’t I just leave this pain

In his arms I felt so safe
Without him here now
I don’t know what to do
Whether to cry or scream
Can’t I make up my mind

A million thoughts running
Through my head
It always comes down to him
Can’t he see that I love him
