Verse
I am everything you want, but you will never want me
I'll listen to your problems, but you will never listen to me
I will ease your pain and heal your wounds, but I will stay bleeding and suffering
You will be treated as you think you should, but your guilt and insecurity will ruin the gesture.
You want independence, but you prefer to be treated as a child
You call it "wanting what's best for you", but you know it to be just simple egocentricism
You hate liars, cheats, and hypocrites, but only because you hate yourself
You ignore me and only call for help, and I did answer
But after you have realized how much you needed me, I have wiped my hands clean of you
Your "pain", "suffering", and all the troubles you have gone through, were all created in your self-seeking ways. You will deny it to all who prove the fact to you, but in your deepest pits of the heart you know it to be true.
You will never find happiness, because you refuse to allow it to find you.
I write this not for your benefit, but to hopefully ease my pain
You may think this speaks to you, but I wrote it for someone I will never converse with again.
People never appreciate what they have until it is gone, well to you I am gone. Appreciate me or not, I am much better letting go of your selfish complaining.
I have always deserved a deep, affectionate partner... it seems I fooled myself into a fantasy that you would be it.
