These are the thoughts no one knows,
Where loneliness, depression grows.
Things I’ve blocked away for years,
Things that once brought me to tears.
Memories from dark corners of my mind,
Things I thought I had left behind.
Thoughts of anger, rage, and hate,
All served upon a two-faced plate.
Abandoned, betrayed, left alone,
Pain, loneliness in my eyes shone.
People too worried about what’s wrong with me,
I’m hurting and dying, why can’t they see?
They ask me my illness, heartbreak or depression?
Anger, betrayal, alone, or aggression?
The purpose of a friend is just what they’re missin,
Not to ask questions, just to sit and listen.
I just need to talk or someone to hear,
Then to discuss the things that I fear.
What makes me laugh? What makes me cry?
What makes me live? What makes me die?
The answers aren’t important though,
Most people just ask for show.
All they’re doing is kissing my ass,
If that’s the case, no thanks I’ll pass.
Block them out by building a wall,
Let no one in, none at all.
I take defense I’m very protective,
I see only from my own perspective.
Afraid to be hurt, it’s happened before,
And I got so scared of all that’s in store.
Memories, emotions, come rushing back,
And reality’s ready to attack,
Head to hands, elbows to knees,
Screaming to God,” Answer me please!”
I can’t do it alone all hope has been lost,
My being turned cold like an arctic frost.
I’ve been between Heaven and Hell,
When I thought I was up I tripped and fell.
The world overwhelms me I break and give in,
But nobody knows the places I’ve been.
I have plenty of friends, but they come and go,
The good ones stay and that’s how I know.
They still don’t help in the things I do,
The ones that help are the ones that are true.
The best friends I have, the best of them all,
Are the three that made the other side of my wall.
These three and me will go side by side,
Go hand in hand to the day we die.

I haven't yet welcomed you to passions and for that I apologise  - busy, busy, busy!
I loved this piece hon, and I agree when a friend wants sympathy you are they with bells on, you listen, you comfort and you offer opinions if they are wanted IF being the operative word here.
But when the role is reversed and they listen for a short while, but don't listen with their hearts, they shove their opinions down your throat, that is not help, just another burden to bear.
Sometimes some friends only see in black and white, not the many shades of grey in between.  Like well drop her, divorce her, what are you still doing there?, quit the job then... but sometimes it's not that easy, and it will only work for you when you have tried to YOUR limits.  And those friends aren't true, they are only part timers.  I hope you continue to search and find real friends who listen and understand.
beautiful writing hon.
Sorry for the length of my response it just got away from me LOL
