I woke you up
in the middle of the night
everything felt wrong
I needed you to make it right

Instead you said
what's wrong with you
(I'm hurting inside
and you haven't a clue)

You don't know me
you don't know my heart
I needed your hands to hold me
- not push us apart.

I'd be a butt if you woke me up in the middle of the night too Lol, sorry (thats only because its rare I sleep)...I like this poem, it says a lot, I think we all need hands to hold us instead of pushing us apart, so very well said.

Hi, Sea. I enjoyed this poem. One thing, though. I think the poem would be that much better if you really got inside the narrator's head. We know she's sad, but is it only because her significant other is being such a louse? I think it runs deeper than that -- his rejection is just another representation in a line of bad choices. I don't know where I'm getting that feeling from, but it's there. Keep workin' at it.

Again, the final stanza finishes this off perfectly

SEA~~ I do enjoy reading your thoughts   However this poem can go both ways... I thought of a man... because when a man needs you it is always when a woman is not available... bad timing as I tell my husband   hehe....Again I do enjoy your work very much...

God knows that I know how that feels. I'm sorry to hear that you're in a situation like that, but I did like the poem. Good job!  )

I know what you are talking about Sea.  You want to wake him up emotionally so he will share his heart with you.   I enjoyed your poem.   James

I have to say that I enjoyed this a lot. As I do the others I have read.
