Breaking free

You treat me like a child

It hurts deep down

But I keep my silence

Out of love or confusion?

You ignore me

It breaks my heart

But I keep my silence

Out of love or depression?

You forget me

It makes me mad

But I keep my silence

Out of love or fear?

You disregard my views

It makes me feel small

But I keep my silence

Out of love or self-doubt?

You are not worthy of my love

You are not worthy of my regard

You are not worth my time

You are not worth my energy

To Kai, with love ...

If I could wrap you in my arms
And never let you go
I would
But I know that you need space to learn & grow

If I could hold your hand
And guide you every step of your life
I would
But I know that you need to be free to make mistakes

If I could bubble wrap your heart
So it would never break
I would
But I know that the pain will make you grow stronger

If I could bottle my love for you
Before I die
I would
But I know that my love will live on inside you forever

Invisible

If I fell through a crack in the pavement,
Would you notice?
Or would you just keep walking on?

If I screamed in agony,
Would you hear me?
Or would my voice just be background noise to you?

If I was bleeding in front of you,
Would you see me?
Or would you look through me like I was a ghost?

If I walked away,
Would you come after me?
Or would you rejoice at being free?

If I stood by you,
Would you remain standing with me?
Or am I invisible to you?

Waiting for you

I'm lost
Waiting for you to find me

I'm falling
Waiting for you to catch me

I'm broken
Waiting for you to fix me

I'm drowning
Waiting for you to rescue me

I'm bleeding
Waiting for you to heal me

I'm lonely
Waiting for you to love me
