In my eyes
You do not love me
You are distant

In my eyes
You do not want me
You pull away

In my eyes
You do not care
You are hurtful

In my eyes
You do not see
You look away

In my eyes
You do not trust
You are skeptical

In my eyes
You do not speak
You yell at me

In my eyes
You do not understand
You are intolerant

In my eyes
You do not dare
You remove yourself

I know the feeling.  In my eyes some are just like this.  But then they are not true friends and we just need to move on.

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Daniel,
He is more than a friend.  That is what makes it so hard.  Thanks for the kind words.  Sorry you can relate in any way.

LW, this is an excellent poem. . .a good companion to your other poem, "In Your Eyes. . ."

Sometimes, we see only what we want to see. . .it's hard to look with OPEN eyes and see the truth. . . perhaps you are doing this now. . .

Sven,
Thank you.  It is just how I saw things on a particular day.  This is not what I want to see, but how I felt at that moment.  It is not how I feel all the time.  I do try to look with OPEN eyes, but it is hard to decipher that which is truth and that which is not at times.  I do see both sides, but choose not to linger on the negative.

Joel,
Aren't we all.  Thank you and a big hoooooowwwwwllllll right back your way.

The eyes are indeed windows to the soul.  I can't offer advice here but a general comment -
always beware of the lying eyes......
Great work

Very nice poem, and exactly the way I feel about many people. It's hard to see things positively when all you have to go on is the negative. Hang in there, the sun will be brighter tomorrow

Thank you.  Glad you enjoyed it.  I thought I'd try something different on the layout.

Great job here!    This touches me...I know exactly how you feel.  I just posted some poems about loving but not getting love in return.  I was hurt when I wrote them but I got through it.  You will too!!    Great Job, Again!

SEA,
Felt sad when I wrote it.  Emotional abuse is one of the worst kinds.  The scars are deep and do not heal easily.  Thank you.

SH,
Thank you and I will check out your work.  I know I will get through it eventually.  Thanks, again.
