Listen
I am so sad. Can you talk to me?
I am so sad. I can't tell you how so.
My heart aches and the tears fall,
And I want nothing more than to tell you it all.
But what comfort is there in sharing my sadness?
What good is it to drive away your gladness?
I am so sad, that all I can do is cry.
I am so sad that all I can do is cry.
I need someone to listen to my sorrow.
Just some time that I can borrow.
Don't cry for me when I tell you
Of the pain that fills my soul.
Just listen and let me tell you
Everything that words cannot console.
Be there for me like no one could.
Be there for me like everyone should.
Let my soul release it's agony and pain,
And never need to talk of it again.

Thanks!
Thank you so much for your comment! If you've read any of my other attempts at poetry, I eagerly welcome comments and thoughts on those as well.
I have wished many times for there to be some anonymous someone that I could call up that would be willing to listen and be focused and intent but not worry about having to be attached to what I was saying. Not worrying themselves with how they could help me get through the problem, or suggestions on how to deal with it. I always felt that the pain could easily be understood and that they could feel it and just be there to share the burden with me...to just be the other human that understands what pain is and how trying it is to go through. Silently. It just seems like it would be a simple and pure relationship that almost seems impossible to have with anyone who might feel any investment in your well being other than the common bond of humanity.
