~Forever~

~*It took me forever to realize how much you care.
It took me forever to understand that sentimental stare.
It took me forever to show you how I cared.
It took me forever to let the inside of me bare.

~*It brought years of pain along with tears all the thoughts trapped up and some were feared.
Forever has been here and now it is gone.
So far gone I now know where I belong.

~*Forever I thought my words were not important.
Just things that went in one ear and out the other.
I never spoke my opinion, just sat and stared, and a little voice saying "why do I care".

~*Caring is somthing they can not do.
Caring is somthing my hearts ammune to.
Its natural to me and my lifes way.
Why can't they care only one day?

*Don't tell that you love me unless you meen it, Because I might do somthing crazy like believe it..

Welcome to Passions!

I really enjoyed this poem, but have a few suggestions.  Since you have a critique flag up, expect a few opinions on your poetry  

In the stanza that reads:
"It brought years of pain along with tears all the thoughts trapped up and some were feared.
Forever has been here and now it is gone.
So far gone I now know where I belong."

I think you should change that to make it for lines so it will turn out to be:
"It brought years of pain along with tears
all the thoughts trapped up and some were feared.
Forever has been here and now it is gone.
So far gone I now know where I belong."

That also happens in the stanza that says:
"Forever I thought my words were not important.
Just things that went in one ear and out the other.
I never spoke my opinion, just sat and stared, and a little voice saying "why do I care"."

Maybe that could be changed to read:
"Forever I thought my words were not important.
Just things that went in one ear and out the other.
I never spoke my opinion, just sat and stared,
and a little voice saying 'why do I care'."

Those are just a few things to think about   JMHO

This is a very good poem, very well written.  I can't wait to see more from you... soon!
