Maybe

Maybe

I’m… slowly starting to think it’s you, and not me…

Maybe it’s me

Maybe I shouldn’t want so much

I shouldn’t want, crave, and long for your feel

Your touch

I shouldn’t want your voice to be the only one that calls me that name

Any other voice should make me shudder- it shouldn’t feel the same

It shouldn’t feel as nice-

Not half, not close

Maybe I’m the reason you’re so unhappy

Even though you chose

It was your idea to walk this earth with me

No one forced your hand

You knew what this would be

But this isn’t it

It’s now how I planned

For things

 

When she calls me, baby,

It’s bittersweet cuz it hurts

It stings

It feels so good to be wanted and loved you know…

But it’s your respect and admiration I’ve been looking for

Maybe it’s my fault…

 

I probably should have seen it before

There’s so much to endure

So much that I expect I guess

You’ve already got your own shit

So much going on in life, this stress…

THIS STRESS that you choose never to acknowledge or address

Or share with your partner… or anyone for that matter…

You’re absent more and present less

You’re barely here in body, definitely not mind

Barely any spirit I’d bet

 

I’m…

Slowly starting to think it’s you

And not me…
