One day on and one day of
you make me feel like I am tops
the next I don't know who you are
sent back again from front to start
I say the thing I really mean
but you still live there in the dream
the past solutions I can't change
but I'm here on another day
Compare me not to who've you lost
but look now to what you've got
I'm here with you my arms held wide
You shoot me down with hidden pride
I try to say my truth won't hide
I'm standing here with all I've got
i see your eyes it's not enough
compare me to the loves you've lost
I'm standing here in pouring rain
trying listening to what your saying
I cannot match I cannot be
the person that you see in me
you live in past but here I am
for all to see my heart is true
the one who doesn't see it
only you

I normally pass straight over unrequited love/misery poetry, but for reasons unknown to me I flicked back and sampled a couple of your back catalogue. Two things evident: you do utilize diverse subject matter in your poetry AND you haven’t been here for a very long time. So hope to see more of you now, but not the misery love stuff – It’s (unfortunately) a crowded field here.
'I say the thing I really mean

these lines say it all, what a great read dear poet,
I certainly can relate your worded frustration at trying to engage with someone wholly and them being too calloused and bruised from past disappointment's to be able to decipher: the veracity of my intentions..
