When you hurt, i hurt too
Though i never show it
When you are down i feel blue too
Though you'd never know it

I cant cry in front of you
It makes me seem so weak
As a kid i donned the cape
I was no longer meek

You had so much to deal with then
I pretended i was fine
Never let a teardrop fall
I never crossed that line

When you were hurt
Id pick you up and start the mediation
Let's do this, let's do that
We'll sort the situation

This was never asked of me
I took it on myself
Now it seems in protecting you
I've distanced myself

I love you above all else
I really hope you know
Even though i find tough to show.

The walls are crumbling
Great pillars demolished
Once so strong now frail, unpolished
Onlookers shaken
Utterly agog

An infant cries, wails in pain
Frantically trying to rebuild his blocks
Still it crumbles, bit by bit
The dust burns his eyes
Yet still he tries

The infant stills amid the wreck
Knowing nothing will bring it back
The rocks are left, shards of pain
Left with the knowledge, it was all in vain.

Unusually unusual
Sullen yet perky
A low radar passenger
Chameleon

Shrinking venus fly trap
Samsonic strength
Mild mental state

Intelligent yet unsure
Grey

That's me.

Bright bold brilliant light
A shock from the abyss
Alarms ringing
Birds singing

A call from the ether
Omens galore
Raining fire
Open doors

Falling on the deaf, blind, ignorant, incompetent.
Rejected

You should never worry
I stand right by your side
When you hurt
I heal it, not only the outside

Ill protect your children
Ill love you through and through
When you drive ill be there
To watch over you

When its time ill take you
But before i do
Remember live your life
Be happy dont be blue
Ill be there to help, that's just what grannys do.

Peppered with veiled insults
Disguised as caring
Constant disappointment
Always there
Not happy with my choices
Determined to make me pay
You dont even get that you're pushing me away.

You've shown me something beautiful
Your heart once was mine
You helped me feel my worth
You made me shine

You've lost your way lately
Deep torment plaguing you
You've lost your sense of self,
You've lost your love
A fire has gone from in you
Lies with every breath

My feelings have not changed,
I love you deep and true
It pains me to walk away
But there's nothing left of me and you
This isn't quite your fault but i cant take the blame.
I couldn't go on loving when you dont feel the same.

At the point of turning, you realise what you need
Care for yourself, above all else.
You're all you really need.
