Stanzas on Friendship

I'm all excited to talk to her, but
After it's over, my heart aches in despair
I can't get a word in, even if I do
It's shrugged off with a simple glance

When she has something to tell me, I listen in earnest
When I want to talk--she doesn't quite care
I know it seems selfish to ask for an ear--
But if you lean on my shoulder, can't I lean on yours?

Each day I anticipate talking with you
Hoping this will be the chance
That you finally listen and respond in kind
I don't want to be your reluctant hero.

I read all your writings: you ignore all of mine.
I take most of your suggestions, though you seldom heed mine.
I listen to your music: you turn off mine instead.
You show off your accomplishments, refusing to nod at me.

I try and I try, to let this problem go
But it comes right back and slaps me in the face
Reminding me that you don't truly, really seem to care
But I go on hoping that someday you will.

I never interject a single comment
For fear that it'll be instantly shot down
Perhaps it's not the best for me to hang around with you
What can I do instead?

I read all your writings: you ignore all of mine.

You don't know how much i really enjoyed this sentence here.
This write says so much truth. There are actually people like this too.
very well written, without being judgmental. Well done!
