They Couldn't See

They couldn’t see
For the distance parted them
But does it part our hearts too?

No they couldn’t see when tears rolled down
They just stood in judgement
Said I was wrong
But don’t they know me well?
No they couldn’t see when my heart pained beyond repair
They tried to mend what was broken already
Where were they when I needed them

Aah I remember ...they were too happy with their newfound joys and too sad with what they had lost
Should I have told them then?
Should I have told them what hurt me?
Should I have burdened their hearts already sensitized by life’s moves
Alas! I couldn’t for it would have been too much
I kept it from then but deep down I wished

I wished for them to know like I did
I wished for them to hear my sighs
I wished for them to feel my pain
I wished for them to gauge my discomfort
I wished……too much
