    All About You

    Do you know the color of my eyes,
    do you know my favorite song,

    Do you ever listen to all I say,
    or are my thoughts of you all wrong.

    I listened to you so closely when we were on the phone,
    but when the night was over
    I felt empty and alone.

    I thoutht that we were getting close, and you could call me a friend, but maybe I realized all you did was pretend.

    With all that was happening in my family too,
    there was no room for me, there was no room for two.

    Many of my days were filled with sadness, I wanted a brighter side,
    but with no one to listen, most of the time alone I cried.

    No intentions of anything from me but concern and honesty,
    I cared all I could about you, but you left me weary.

    I think of all the reasons of why I wasn’t there.
    to share your moments of good and bad, I felt it was unfair.




    You think your loss was your’s alone,
    how selfish can you be.

    Even those not close to you felt your loss,
    but you didn’t care to see.

    To be such a secret to be hidden away,
    what shame have I brought you that would make you feel that way.

    It didn’t take me long to understand about you,
    but did I learn my lesson right or will I continue.

    I can’t explain just how I feel, no reason to compare,
    the only thing I was sure about, perhaps you didn’t care.

    I was there with you when emotions ran high,
    not once did I question or ever ask why.

    I was taught to be gentle, open-minded and kind
    It makes me sad to think I might have been blind.

    In the end it was over and it was finally through,
    there was no reason for me, because it was
    all about you.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
