Shame

Nobody can quite make me feel As horrible as you do Wipe off the look of shock As if you never had a clue Don't pretend you were naive We both know you always knew And no, it wasn't me My darling, it was you I've learned to despise The sound of your voice While I forgot how to cry And that I ever had a choice I've come to expect Your obnoxious gestures Though I'm no longer perplexed By the "why" behind your efforts The hard and heavy sighs The slamming of doors When the child inside you cries These sounds, I can't ignore If I pretend not to notice The moaning starts to echo So I dry up any bliss And succumb to your show If everything I do disgusts you Your point is carved in stone In the ceilings walls and corners That make up our very home What can I do to stop the bleeding To shield your judging eyes from seeing Change your mind and way of thinking Give my role a whole new meaning And if your view just won't be changed Will you please just walk away With my ego bruised and confidence sprained I'm afraid that I might stay
