Escapism

 

 

 

You don't see the tears when you pour your heart to me

 

You don't feel the pain as I listen to your anxiety

 

You are not here to hold me tightly

 

You can't reach me and comfort me softly

 

 

 

I listen to your woes as I battle with demons on my own

 

I absorb your fears as I watch mine and how they've grown

 

You are troubled by your life, your love, your hate

 

You have no idea I have more of those to date

 

 

 

I care for you but you never see

 

It has always been like this for me

 

You don't know how I wish it were to be

 

Someone I could show my misery the way you do to me

 

 

 

Your confidence I value beyond measure

 

Sometimes they can be such a pleasure

 

Your love I truly treasure

 

And then times I feel like having a seizure

 

 

 

You don't know my crippling fears

 

Or why I have uncontrollable tears

 

And why I sometimes feel my end is near

 

That I would lose everything I hold dear

 

 

 

Am I a mere escape to you

 

Do I even matter when you are not feeling blue

 

You take it all out on me as I take it all in

 

I fight the notion that this is how it's always been.

 

 

 

AUTHOR NOTES: I wrote this years ago when I thought love was a destiny only for others to enjoy. I also thought it was fitting to post here since most BL stories usually have the unrequited love factor.

thanks so much for reading.

 

yes burden could be heavily felt in this poem. looking back, yes it truly was a burden for me having to be the one as that person unburdened himself to me.

 

yet knowing too well that i'm not the one he wants and never will.

Thank you so much for the poem!!! This is my favorite part:

"I care for you but you never see

It has always been like this for me

You don't know how I wish it were to be

Someone I could show my misery the way you do to me"

Thank you so much for reading. Those lines were borne out of the inner turmoil of being needed but not wanted and knowing where you stand with this person who will never be yours.
