Why do you not get me?
Why don't you understand?
Some things are not tied
To the greatness of a man
It is not that I do not hope
And that I do not carry dreams
It is simply that this life
Is more complicated than it seems
So when I drift
When I fall away
When I tell you my heart is tired
And my emotions beyond frayed
Do not take offense
I do not want you in pain
You need to reconcile the uncertainty
Of me ever being back again
I cannot interfere
With what needs to run its course
I cannot be the fuel
Feeding the fire of your discourse
Nor can I let afar dreams
Cloud today's necessities
There is too much riding
On this Mother's responsibilities
Nor can I expose myself
To yet another heartbreak
To be pulled into a man's promises
Only to have them prove fake
And so we'll march on
In limbo's parallel
And when your shit is settled
We'll sort out this love tale
