You Never Told Me Poem by Murphy Payne

You never told me feelings were missing
Words with compassion now I see
You never told me your heart was slowly breaking
I would have done things differently

You never told me I’m your Genie
Who filled your world with happiness
Your never told me that you needed
All my loving and caress

How can it be?
So many years together
We have learned nothing
From each other

Alone in our room
In our big bed
Before the loving is over
Our feelings are dead

I tried a few things
That never seemed to work
I cried a few tears
That got my eyes wet

We never listened
We gave all the signs
We should have been more direct
Instead of lying in our minds

You never told me, I'm your hero
Just like the ones in real life
You never told me you wanted to go
And be with me 'til the end of time

You never told me
