How many times..
How many times do I have to scream for help
Why can’t you just know how I felt
How many times do I have to say I’m drowning
Why can’t you see I’m constantly frowning
How many times do I say I need you
Why can’t you see I’m forever blue
How many times do I have to say I’m broken
Why can’t you see all the words unspoken
How many times do I have to stay
Why can’t you see you’d be better if I went away
How many times do I have to hold on
Why can’t you see I’m already gone
How many times do you put up with this
Why can’t you see you could find bliss
How many times do I need to fail
Why can’t you see you need to bail
How many times do I have to fall apart
Why couldn’t you see all this from the start
How many times....
Why can’t you just know how I felt
How many times do I have to say I’m drowning
Why can’t you see I’m constantly frowning
How many times do I say I need you
Why can’t you see I’m forever blue
How many times do I have to say I’m broken
Why can’t you see all the words unspoken
How many times do I have to stay
Why can’t you see you’d be better if I went away
How many times do I have to hold on
Why can’t you see I’m already gone
How many times do you put up with this
Why can’t you see you could find bliss
How many times do I need to fail
Why can’t you see you need to bail
How many times do I have to fall apart
Why couldn’t you see all this from the start
How many times....

Author's Note
I wrote this after my spouse had started to understand how depression was effecting me. He was trying to get me to explain to him how I honestly felt at that moment and I became so enraged because I couldn’t put into words for him to understand and I wanted him to just be able to see and read my mind and figure it out.
