I shouldn't Need To Ask

I shouldn't need to ask for you to be here for me I shouldn't have to tell you I'm drowning you should be able to see it you should know that my silence isn't peaceful but very painful you should know that I need you but instead you're not trying to help me or to talk to me to understand what I'm feeling and I've been there for you so many times and I have been so understanding for you when you were silent I couldn't let that silence just be and it's not like I haven't tried to tell you I did and I got nothing from you that hurt more because it felt like you were just pushing my head more beneath the surface you're my friend someone I trust someone I love if I need you I shouldn't need to ask
