...Coming to

Im afraid to reach out
and touch what I don't see
But I've already gone too far to turn back
Is there no one here who will comfort me?

Why do I insist on holding back this flood of tears
I know it's destroying me, tearing me apart inside.
But I can never seem to find the right moment
To cry myself to sleep.

Peace is eluding me
dancing just out of my reach,
and despair is following me everywhere
whispering words of darkness into my ears.

Why do I feel the need to appear strong
when anyone who looks closer
can see that I am worn and weak,
Im only fooling myself.

Im tired or charades
tired of looking for the hidden messages in your words
why can't you just tell me what you really mean
before I decide it's too hard and painful to care.

This is becoming too much for me to handle,
the constant pain pushing in the background everyday
the worry and fear I try to keep from showing on my face,
but I can't let go just because I want to.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Hey there! This is a very bitter-sweet poem. It's beautifully written, but very sad. It's got a very good flow.
