You Confuse Me

I hold you up,
You bleed all over me.
I help you hide your knife,
You stab me.
I tuck you into bed,
You kick off the sheets.
I ignore you,
You give me a hug.
I accidentally trip you,
You don't get up.
I reach out for you.
You run away.
I hear you out, 
You won't talk.
I sing your song,
I can't relate to it.
You're mad at me,
Not for long.
I love you,
You love me more.

You confuse me.
