Mirrors

I reached for you, yet you were not there. I cried for you, yet you didn't seem to care. I wanted to grow with you, yet you choose to stay the same. I needed you, yet you turned away. I whispered in your ear, yet you hated my melody. I tried to feed you, yet my bread you called stale. I loved you, yet it wasn't enough. I prayed for you, yet you continue as you are. How long must this go on before you change these things? How long must I wait for you to finally see? How many tears must I lose before you reach to wipe them away? How long must I stand with empty arms? I reach inside myself to discover these things I seek dwell inside me.
