Why Can'T You Just Love Me
"Why can't you Love just me”
Treated like a possession
Placed far upon a shelf
Time stands still when you’re high, dark, deep
And out of reach
Fueled by white lies
You challenge me
Dangerous false securities
Scatter on concrete
My silence demanded
Bound and broken before I speak
Tricked into watching other worldly goods make you feel complete
Your magnetic energy draws on me
My needs forsaken and courage falls beneath
Within your perfect circle I have a seat
A fake display of warm affection presented neat
Still sharp, jagged edges cut me deep
Made to feel less, mild, and meek
A down turn indeed
Justifiable crucification of my emotions and mind
Swallow and consuming thee
Our journey together will never complete
Goodbye my love, for I cannot honor we
I hope your conscious burns slow and deep
Every time you reach for me-
