Right Before Your Very Eyes

There once was a time
not so very long ago,
You gave me the peace of mind
and gave me your shoulder to cry on.
The many problems that plagued me
that made my life a living hell,
You listened so patiently and attentively
you then told me all would be well.
You did not mind me breaking down to cry
you gently wiped my tears away,
Your reassuring smile touched me inside
you made me believe in a better day.
Now, I can feel I can no longer talk to you
because you seem to no longer understand,
Keep it  all inside is what I must do
now it is my problems you no longer want to listen.
You are letting someone else cry on your shoulder
and it is someone else you are being so understanding to,
It is omeone else problems you are now solving
but it is mine you have no time to listen to.
Right before your very eyes I am breaking
and sometimes I wonder do you really care,
Right before your very eyes for you I am reaching
only to find you are not there.
Your compassion belongs to some other woman
because it sure as hell is not here with me,
To her problems you do not  hessitant in solving
I just wish you felt that exact same away for me.
