Why Can't We Be Like That

It's been a long time
I took a long break,
Too long,
From writing.
I had so much going
Through my head.
I couldn't get anything down.
'Cause I...
Screw everything up.
Can never do the right thing.
Couldn't make you happy
Even if I tried.
So I just stopped.
I needed some time for myself.
And I got it
Now I want it back.
You came back and
Gave me everything.
But I threw it back,
And hurt us both.
I don't want you
But I need you.
I'll find you someday.
But I couldn't take the secrets
Anymore.
You've got all of me
But I can't seem to find you.
I can't stop thinking about you.
You're in my dreams
But I wake up
In a cold, cold bed
And even though you
Never slept here
This full bed feels a little bit
More empty
Without your ghost
To put me to sleep.
I'm tired of waiting
For you to fight for me.
I need you to be strong enough
To fight me like a man.
I'm a girl that needs a man not a boy.
I need someone to push my buttons
Tell me when I'm right
And when I'm wrong.
I need someone who can
Craddle me to sleep,
But can also fight to stay in that bed.
You haven't shown me that
Why couldn't we be like that?
