Be My Friend

I wrote this some time ago. At that time I felt like everyone expected me to do the best and to be invincible... and if I tried to say I needed help, no one ever came. At the time I needed a friend, but she had her own problems... maybe it was selfish of me to expect her to do the impossible?
I hate how you expect me to be there for you.
But you're never there for me.
I try to get you to ask questions, to notice me,
But you just don't see.

You're too preoccupied with your problems,
And I feel left out.
Like, if I had a sign saying 'I need your help',
You wouldn't notice, not even if I shout.

Maybe I'm expecting too much.
I honestly don't know.
Maybe I should just tell you?
But, how could I even show (you)?

So, I stand here, confused as heck,
Wanting to tell...
But doubting if you'd listen,
Much less notice if I fell.

Times are just hard right now,
And I just want... need a friend.
I feel like something is pressing against my chest,
Like something will soon end.

Hanging in time,
Hopeful eyes turned to you.
Wanting you to be my friend...
But I'm afraid I'm expecting you to do...

The impossible.

Please comment and do the poll and all that! :) Love you all!
Is it selfish for me to expect her to do that?
Yes! She has her own life! Why don't you get your own and stop whining?
No! Compromise! She's your friend! You be there for her, she be there for you! That's how it works!
Eh... who cares.
Yes! Don't be selfish! And if you feel so strongly about this why don't you tell her? She's not psychic!
No! Don't ever think that! You deserve to be helped just as much as you help her! Don't ever think that for a second!
