Why Can'T You See? Poem by shelbie bozeman

why can't you see
everytime I try
to help you, protect you
to defend you, to hide


why can't you see
when I say someone is bad
that I am being honest but
you always get mad


Why can't you see
my heart belongs to you
that I love and hate myself
for loving you

why can't you see
I am here
the one for you
who is so near

Why can't you see
is a riddle of my mind
hurry up and open your eyes
you're running out of time

Why can't you see
that I am walking away
that I have to leave
I can't stay

Why you can't see
is so sad to be known
for without you here
I am on my own
