...
i speak of you and you speak of me
we hold hands but none of it is true
i have nothing but the will to fight and you have only the will for flight
i bring you in and all you do is repel me
i fight for US and you fight for YOU
i fight for your existence and you fight for resistance
i talk, you yell, i cry, you laugh
you are my complement
but it seems a complement is not what you want
i've waited and i've been patient
but for what?
for your self preservation!
i take care of you and you take care of yourself who is taking care of me?
who is there to offer their hand for me when im in a time of need?
who comforts me?
no one, i am my own defense
i deal with everything that you refuse to.
i fix your problems and everyone elses and leave my own problems to chance
i put you before me and them before me but who puts me before them?
all the time and energy i put into YOU and i always go unnoticed
i cater to you, and everyone else
i give them what you can not an sacrifice my plans for yours
i bring them joy and hope
and all you bring me is self despair
i cry when you're not looking, in the confinds of my room
i hear what you wont let the others hear
i protect you, them
i help YOU and YOU help yourself
i give them a reason to come back, i give them answers that you refuse to give
i give them reassurance, i give them hope
i bring them back to a home, a broken home
a home we all avoid, a home we have learned to accept
and in time it will be a home we will love instead of a home we hate.
