Echoes of Frustration

Fading shadows, whispers in the dark,

I gave you my heart, but now it feels so stark.

Why is it so hard, can’t you see the tears?

I’m lost in the silence, drowning in my fears.

You were my anchor, my guiding star,

Through stormy weather, we’ve come so far.

But now it’s like you’re turning away,

Leaving me here in a world of gray.

I thought we were strong, thought you were real,

But it’s hard to breathe through this weight I feel.

Oh, can’t you hear my heart breaking?

These walls I built are shaking.

I’m clinging on, but you slip away,

Why can’t you see it’s tearing me gray?

Why am I not enough, can’t you see my pain?

Every single moment feels like rain.

I’m trying so hard, I’m losing this fight,

Friendship shouldn’t feel like I’m losing my light.

I’m taking steps forward, but it feels like I stall,

Why is my happiness hidden behind the wall?

You say I’m too much, but I don’t understand,

How did our bond slip right out of hand?

Every kindness I offer, seems to fade away,

What can I do? What else can I say?

Oh, can’t you hear my heart breaking?

These walls I built are shaking.

I’m clinging on, but you slip away,

Why can’t you see it’s tearing me gray?

Why am I not enough, can’t you see my pain?

Every single moment feels like rain.

I’m trying so hard, I’m losing this fight,

Friendship shouldn’t feel like I’m losing my light.

I’m drowning in questions, reaching for you,

Trying to show you what I’m going through.

Just one moment, look in my eyes,

Hear the silence, hear my cries.

So here’s my heart, heavy and bare,

I hope you can see how deeply I care.

This frustration and hurt, it shadows my day,

But I’ll keep on trying, please don’t fade away.
