Outsider

There are days when I feel like an outsider no matter where I go

I am not worried about it most days as no one really knows

I keep all these feelings bottle up to myself

I put these feelings away like books on a shelf

I know I can open up to one person in my life

It should be the closest person to me, my wife

But she does not listen or seem to care

You are the only one I can talk to and share

I know that I have let you in, complete access

I want that same from you one day, I must confess

I don't want to be an outsider around you

I know we are close but there is a line you drew

You have not allowed yourself to completely open up to me

I know and understand why you did this, you explained it to me

I am an outsider everywhere I go, even at home and at work

Sometimes I think people around me think that I am a jerk

It has been nice to feel wanted and needed by you

Please don't turn me into an outsider with you
