Hurting

My heart hurts;

painful wait; dissipate please;

you mean everything to me; do i mean something to you ?

you’re my every thought; my every want;

i need you; but do you even want me ?

you think i don’t know but i do ; i can hear it in your voice and the things you do ;

i understand i know what you feel ;

in your emotional burst; i am there; but who is protecting me when i’m holding you ;

wait on constant wait for the words i want to hear;

nothing is complicated; there is only one reason why i feel how i feel ;

i want you to think of me more; take care of me too ;

just say my name and tell me to follow you ; i will ;

but you leave me behind ; please show me that you care;

hey btw my name is claire ;
