How Much Longer?

It’s all been said

I’ve exhausted all topics

Yet still you don’t notice

My constant plea for help

How many more must I write

How much longer must I wait

Before you’ll finally understand

That I need you

I need a shoulder to cry on

And I need an ear to hear

All that I’ve held inside

Since so many years ago

But you’ve ignored every plea

You’ve ignored every line

That I write and show to you

Just because I laugh

Just because I join in on the jokes

Doesn’t mean that I’m okay

I’ve said all there is to say

And still you don’t seem to care

And maybe you don’t

Maybe I really am all alone

And maybe it’s time I give up

So no thank you

For all you haven’t done

And so long

If you won’t take notice

And if you won’t care

How much longer must I wait

Before you notice that I’m gone

Gone for good, to where life’s a mem’ry
