Double Standards

The expectations given to me I have not met Unlike others I can't always forgive and forget Like the time you said whole heap of lies to me And you wonder why I have an issue with honesty I haven't quite met up to your dreams But all that glitters is not as it seems Like the time you made me feel so unworthy All those times I cried out, I suppose you never heard me You never understand until you experience the same Then suddenly it becomes acceptable-you sound so lame Like the time when I became lost in the crowd But to air my concerns, somehow it's not allowed But lo and behold if you was to feel lost too You expect a fuss and to be molly cuddled too Like the time I explained my true fears Why ask if you don't like what you hear Like the time when you said you're always here for me Hello.........I'm still waiting for your company Maybe I'm looking at the glass half empty As the things said don't manifest to be Could I be too analytical so that I don't understand? Like the joker in a pack you've dealt me your hand
