What do you think for revisions or even a name for this poem?

Sometimes I don't feel
you're giving all you've got
show me something either way
and I'll know if I should stop
I'm begging to get closer
but something pushes me back
I want to belive what you say
but something seems to lack
Sometimes it seems to me
you don't see me pulling you near
All these things I want to say
But I know I'll never tell
You say I'm the one you want
but you didn't notice I fell
Somehow you need to show
becasue your love is hard to see
oh, yes, I know that you care
but you mean much more to me
I don't think you understand
exactly what I'm trying to say
just tell me we're both here
and I promise I'll never stray

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say...... I want to be positive in my comments, but I think perhaps this is too cliche.

I understand the sentiment and I can see a lot of work went into the rhyme. I think it could be better, with a bit more creativity in the construct.

I thought this work was good, but i have one thing to say. I personally think you shouldn't have repeated:
"I want to belive what you say
but something seems to lack"
It would have been better left said just once.

This is a great idea, but how are these for a few ideas?
1.) Show a Little More
2.) I Want to Believe
3.) Do You Really Love Me?
4.) It's Hard to Believe What You're Saying
5.) I Don't Understand

Oops, I didn't realize I repeated that one statement twice. That's not supposed to be there. Thanks for all your comments.

Deanna

I fixed the repeated statement.
