Tell about the meaning
Bullshit me on high
Tell me your a manager
Lie to me, I deny

Tell you are thinking
Tell me that you know
Tell me your useless
Tell me you have to go

What do I do
What do I say
I hate your guts
Yet tell you to stay

Tell me that your worth it
Tell why o why
Tell so I can understand
Tell me before goodbye

Tell me how it was
Tell me how it will be
Tell me something just lies
Just help me to feel free

I'v got to live for life
I got to have some thing
Just tell that it's over
But my heart wont spring

I cant bear to lose you
Living with you a dream
If there was someone else
If somewhere else you'd been

Tell there's a why
Tell there's a sty
Tell me that you love me
Tell me by and by

But you dont ever tell me
You dont ever care
You take me for granted
You just drive me spare

Tell me of my life
Tell what it cares
Tell me please, I need it
Before I go somewhere

Dave
The short lines fit the theme of the poem well, this subject is hard to write about
Confusion, wanting to leave, wanting to stay and the feeling of co-dependence that accompanies this kind of situation is strongly felt....Good job

This was a very intense tone but was written so well.  I understand the co-dependence feeling all too well, I'm sure most people can identify with you on some level with this one.  Good Job!!

Dave, you've captured the full gambit of the emotions...anger, fear, distrust, confusion and despair...vividly.

believe in what your heart feels...

Ink

At that point I dont think the world or anything but letting go of emotion featured

It must be held to live with someone who is just loosing it because they cant see a way out and attacks those because there is probably no way through the emotion apart from time.

I wrote because it is easy to write I'm feeling bloody awlful, but no-one cares for the carer.

Yes it is sad for both sides, one experiencing the feelings and pain but inflicting the pain on someone else

Thanks Ice - very true

Kimberley

Thanks

scorpio

Reason for writing it, is you always think it is only you and no-one else can know

You dont realise you are not unique

Thanks everyone

Dave
