rants of a listener

Why is it when you need to talk?
Everyone seems to baulk,
But when they want you to listen,
You be a good friend to hear as their tears glisten,
To hear all their troubles they bare,
Just because they know you care,
Always giving but never wanting to take,
So many feelings bottled up inside,
Sometimes you just want to say for goodness sake,
Feelings bouncing around like a swirling tide,
A cyclone blowing everything into its path,
Feeling like my heart is the aftermath,
Though I feel guilty,
Or am I just being silly,
I know I should be open in sharing my feelings,
It’s hard when shyness seems more appealing,
It sounds odd to hear,
To anyone who gets near,
All I want is to be close to someone and be loved,
No longer wanting to be shoved,
And to go away,
To be just happy one day,
To find that special one of a kind,
Not just to love her body but also her mind.
