Ben
I throw it out there, you bring it back
You always bring it back.
You ask so little of me,
But I neglect to satisfy your smallest desire.
My days go by without a single thought of your existence
Until I come home and you yell,
Yell in excitement to see me.
I crush you with the bottom of my shoes
You look up yearning for more,
Perhaps some physical contact I won't supply.
The days pass filled with loneliness,
Minutes of happiness,
And fleeting hopes.
But now you are quiet,
You look past me as if I'm not there.
My hand caresses you as I try alleviating all the neglect,
And pain.
It doesn't work,
You slip away from me without even knowing it.
Your screams of joy are now the one thing I want most,
Its lack opens a void that fills with thoughts
Thoughts of a million missed opportunities.
I threw you out there,
I threw you out there,
I threw you out there
Alone, but now you won't come back.
You always bring it back.
You ask so little of me,
But I neglect to satisfy your smallest desire.
My days go by without a single thought of your existence
Until I come home and you yell,
Yell in excitement to see me.
I crush you with the bottom of my shoes
You look up yearning for more,
Perhaps some physical contact I won't supply.
The days pass filled with loneliness,
Minutes of happiness,
And fleeting hopes.
But now you are quiet,
You look past me as if I'm not there.
My hand caresses you as I try alleviating all the neglect,
And pain.
It doesn't work,
You slip away from me without even knowing it.
Your screams of joy are now the one thing I want most,
Its lack opens a void that fills with thoughts
Thoughts of a million missed opportunities.
I threw you out there,
I threw you out there,
I threw you out there
Alone, but now you won't come back.
