I wish I could turn
my feelings off like you.
I wish I understood how my
feelings for you could be so
strong and your feelings for me
don't exist; at all. I wish I could
understand how you love me,
with out seeing me.  I wish I
could understand this distance
between us. I wish I knew that
while I was here talking about you,
you were somewhere thinking about me too.

Dad/Brother/Lover
how could you treat me so cold?
I'm yours, a part of you, how
could you leave me all alone? 

I NEED YOU TO BE STRONG.

I wasn't meant to carry all of this.
This pain, this anger, this
frustration that I feel.
Don't you know I've had it rough?
Don't you think I've had enough?

I cook your food, I bare your child,
I wash, I clean, and still have time
to clown. I still have my smile and
that walk that drives you wild, and
I still have the strength to pick you
up when you're feeling down.

But you don't want me though?
But I'm a piece of you though.
But I have feelings though. 
I'm not just here for your
pleasure. Step up for me,
fight for me, protect me, and
love me. Tell me that you need
me here, or better yet SHOW ME.
