Understanding

This is not
The way
I planned to be
But I know
You will never
Understand me
That's all I long for
All I want
All I need
But understanding
Is what you
Just can't be
This is the root
Of every argument
I start
Because the truth
Is it breaks
My heart
To know that
You just
Can't be bothered
You'd rather yell
Then solve
A real problem
You just focus
On the fact that
I brought it up
You think
That your listening
Should be enough
Yes I get
How you work
Completely
You're content
With the way
You treat me
So you believe
That I
Shouldn't complain
If you're fine
Then I should
Be the same
Doesn't matter
If that's clearly
Not the case
You just see hurt
You don't see why
It's on my face
Too caught up in
How it makes
You feel
It's just another issue
With which you
Must deal
Something simple
Suddenly becomes
Complicated
Too busy fighting
Leaving time
Wasted
All I ask
Is for you
To try
To look at
Things from
My side
I'm more emotional
Than you
At times
But why
Is it so hard
For you to empathize?
I never feel
There is a point
In explaining
When rejection
Is all I'm
Ever gaining
So next time
Communication
Gets dismissed
Just remember
Who is
At fault for this
