life

I'm good with words I'm good
 with manipulation but I could
never persuade you to love me
 as much as I loved you it was
too hard for me to do I tried everything
 wishing I could sing and you
like the song constantly asking
 myself what did I do wrong
"what did I do wrong"?
 you said a lot of things but
never did you answer the
 question it lead me to believe
it was nothing I knew it was nothing
 but your actions left me needing
something you couldn't give
 I fell out on the floor I didn't
want to live "I didn't want to live"
 I couldn't die because my
heart didn't' feel the same
 though it complained about
the pain I had to muddle through
 I could not bring myself to
understand you, you were
 supposed to love me that
was your job to do I was your
 only child I belonged to you
when you died I couldn't
 come through because
while everybody was at the
 podium lying I was holding
on to the truth is I wish I
 didn't waste all these years
holding on to you I was 2 or 3
 when you left me on the front
porch crying out to you
 you ran like you were late
for work you had one job to do
 I wish you were here
not because I miss you
I want to punch you in
the face I swear I do
