Why must my love go unnoticed?

It seems like my knowledge isn’t knowledgeable enough for you

My care seems like pestering

My worry seems like prodding


Why must you jump into the lion's den?

When I told you that lions dwell there.

When I was scared for your life and you didn’t listen?

Why don’t you care about what I feel?


Why must I fear for your survival?

When I don’t worry about mine?

My heart bleeds at the thought of you getting shot

But goes dry; thinking about ways I can jump in front of the bullet


I am addicted; does it feel good?

No, but I love you too much to let go.

I am addicted; does it feel good?

Yes, because I love you.


I am Addicted.

This is about my current relationship, I felt during this time that I was giving my all but he was never noticing. But really he didn't know what I showed my love through. I put my all into this relationship at the beginning, so much that I forgot what to do with myself when he wasn't there. But as time and years went by I am still me, I am still someone who has a life if he isn't here. I can still do the thing I want to do without telling him or wanting to go with him. Yes he is apart of me now but we are not the same people with the same dreams. Sometimes you just need to figure yourself out and let eachother do what you guys want to do for a day or a couple of hours. It helps.
