Honestly.
I don’t know why you do what you do. I don’t know why you think what you think or feel what
you feel.
I don’t understand you.
I don’t know how your pain feels. I don’t know what you put yourself through when you’re alone
or what you’re hiding when we’re together.
I don’t understand you.
I can’t offer advice, because our stories are different. I can’t tell you what you’re doing is wrong,
or that you should do it my way.
I don’t understand you.
I am not a mind reader. I am not a therapist. I am not a garbage disposal for all your dark thoughts.
I don’t understand you.
I can listen. I can be a sounding board. I can try to empathize. I am trying. But
I cannot understand you.
I wish I could.
UPDATE: For everyone who's asking, this isn't about any one person in particular. It is not about you. It's just a poem based on a feeling. Not an attack aimed at someone specific.
Anything is poetry if you read it right, I read it right! Miss you!
