Envy
I really wish I could feel your pain
Just to see if we feel the same
not to say your feelings aren't real
But to say I know how you feel
I really wish I could think like you
Ignorance is bliss
if only I knew
I really wish I could live just one day
Without having to feel this way
Food in my belly and a place to stay
Not a care in the world
No demons to slay
I really wish that you could see
All the anguish you stowed upon me
I really wish the feeling was mutual
The last part of this story is crucial
Acceptance is dire
I let this be known
My only desire
Was to feel I belong
For it was you
I envy all along
I really wish
That you'd understand
what it is I'm trying to
Defend
I only wanted
you to see
The friend
you had in me
I really wish you cared enough
To see what you're giving up
I really wish you had a clue
How much of me I put into you
I care I cry I eat breathe
I hate I love I hurt feel bleed
I envy
You
