You said you would be there for me
Where are you now?
Asleep in your own little fucking world.
Who cares about my dreams, right?
As long as I make yours come true.
Who cares if I break my back across
the anvil for you? As long as you lie
comfortably and undisturbed.
God forbid I should not be there for you
when your pain surfaces.
I perish the thought of leaving YOU to your
own sorrow for one stinking moment.
I am here for your security.
I am here for your well being.
I am here to protect you. ARENT I?
Allow my quirks as long as the rent is payed.
Suffer my eniquities so long as the lawn is
mowed.
But don't annoy you with my ideosyncrisies
a moment longer, or You'll punish me with silence.
You FEAR me, yet you won't HELP me.
You HATE me, yet you won't leave me.
You LOATHE my pain, my suffering annoys
you. Yet you lie quietly there, secure and safe
because of the BEAST you think you've tamed.
The watchdog over your childer, the sentry of your meager home, always looking over your shoulder, to see if I've snapped yet.
You have yet to see the true nature of my pain. I've spared you that much.
But even if i showed it to you, you would'nt give a shit.
You'd just stare and belittle me more, riding the thinnest of threads across my web of anguish,
belittling my misery and waving it away, like usual.
You think I couldnt live without you?
I already am.
