Subliminal Refusal Poem by Nae Tyler

please don't turn your back on me
I want to show you
I want to tell you
I want to make you feel
but most of all
I want you you to believe
it would mean the world to me
and you want to mean the world
to me
but you cant do this for me
you have to do it for yourself
and you wont, it kills me
I want to love you
but this stands in the way
it's importance has been masked
but now I can see through
what you need
I need you to need this
my heart breaks, I cant make you see
and if I cant, you wont
hurts to think of the thought
your last words
'I wish I would have known...'
but I couldn't tell you because you couldn't hear
