The Way You Treat Me

Only to realize I'll spend time alone.

There are very few moments we actually converse,

But those are the times you hurt me the worst!

Your words are like daggers slicing my soul,

I'm an easy target in a wide open knoll.

You shoot at me until it penetrates skin,

Yet you don't even realize I'm dying within.

So I squirm and try to pretend its ok,

Never a nice thing only evil you say!

I pray for the day you realize I'm hurt,

Will you ever see my tears soaking the earth?

Why can't I tell if there's love in your heart?

It's hard to feel clearly when you've been torn apart.

There's a hunger in my soul I need you to feed,

A soft touch or gentle kiss is all that I need.

But until the day comes that you offer this up,

I'll live with all this and hope it's enough.

Maybe I'm scared about how long I can cope,

Because as of right now I'm losing all hope.

Hopefully you will one day give your heart to me,

But until then I am stuck, and accepting my misery.
