Can I be done yet?
Can I be done with the lies
And the fear that someday
Your back will turn on me
As it has to so many others
Can I be done with the being let down
Because the expectations I have of you
Aren't even that high
I just wanted you to be there for me
But you left.

Can I be done yet?
Done with the broken promises
Of love and otherwise
Because you had no intention
Of ever putting meaning into those empty words
Can I be done with the back and forth
I need a constant
I need you to stay
Or I need you to go
But I don't need you popping in and out as you please
And I would rather it is you just disappeared

Can I be done yet?
Can I be done with feeling like I'm not good enough for you
Or your family
Even though I have never tried harder
To be worthy of someone
Can I be done with the judgment
And the subtle ways you prove to me
That you will always be
More important to me
Than I am to you

Can I be done yet?
Can I be done with feeling like I owe you something
When you have done
Absolutely nothing for me
Except make me feel as if
I am unloved
By the people I love most
Can I be done with always worrying about you
When you don't bat an eyelash at me
Why do I know your problem
But you don't know mine
And more importantly
Why don't you tell me yourself

Can I be done yet?
Can I be done with doing everything for you
With nothing in return
With promises of payback
But those words always being empty
And void of any true intention
Can I be done with the disrespect
And having to get along
With everyone you tell me to
But you never want to be around my friends
Because they aren't good enough for you

Can I finally be done yet?

The moons never talked to you
The way you wanted them to
Because they saw the truth
They saw your lies
In a way I could never
The northern lights dimmed when they caught sight of you
And the milky way shied away
Because if stars are good at one thing
It's fear
You've painted my heart black
And at first you told me it was so
I could travel the night with you
Unnoticed
But I've recently realized how many things
Are wrong with that statement
You never cared about me
You cared about the wind
And how it disappeared when you got far enough away
You liked the seclusion
You feed off the feelings of lose
People feel when you travel
When the sky turns pink
Thats when you'll return to me
From you illustrious travels
My dear Foreigner
That is when I will trust you with my heart again
When the sky tells me it is right
Because the sky is the only person left who hasn't lied to me
And all I want is to rest in her stars
And all I want is for the lies to be done
And all I want is for the loneliness to subside
And it's not to much to ask for
Because I know just how to do it

People slip through my fingers like sand
I can't hold onto anyone
Because there is always someone better
Why can't I ever be the someone who is better
Why am I not worthy of the same love that the world gets
Why do the children who I used to run with
Now make me feel as if everything has been stolen from me
Why am I never picked first in gym?
Not just in gym
Why am I never picked first at 2:00 am
Why am I always available
But the people around me would rather be elsewhere
There are no exceptions to this state of being
This loneliness
The company is only temporary
Because everyone who is important in my life
Has someone more
And it's no secret
People see
People laugh when I tell them who my best friends are
Because they know I am not their's
Why am I never their's
Why am I always alone
Sitting at my house
Writing these words
That you will never know were for you
I guess this is just a one way road
And I'm the idiot driving the wrong way
You'll never truly grasp how important you are to me
But I guess thats good
It's saves me a lot of embarrassment

I appreciate your praise
But it won't find it's home in my heart
I did nothing admirable
I failed you
I tired to keep him safe but
I should have never let him slip
And he fell so hard
But he got back up without me
And maybe that proves that I was right
That he never really needed me
That he was always happier without me
But neither of us ever had the heart to say it
I didn't want to admit it
But he never wanted to hurt me
Which is useless because he did
Many times
But
Constance
I didn't save anyone
I took credit for a heart that healed itself
Cause I was never any use to anyone
I never wanted him to get better
Because at least when he was low he needed me
To bring him back up
I'm sorry for all the lies
I should have taken better care of him
I promised I would
But I've never been good at keeping my promises
So
Constance
Your praise is appreciated
But it won't find it's home in my heart

I still ******* love you
And I don't know what to do about it
Because whenever I start to forget
The sound of Mosquitos
Reminds me of all the whispers
I bet you don't even remember what you said to me
What you promised to me
I don't expect that from you
Monkeys could see what you were doing to me
But I guess my inferiority got to me
And I let it slide
But if strangers tell me to stay away
Should I listen?
You don't even make an effort anymore
So why should I?
Why do I still feel the need to tell you everything
Because it's occurred to me that I don't know you
I don't know if I ever did
But I know that this person you've become
The hallow person
Isn't who I wanted
And I'm a horrible person for saying that
Maybe now that nothing is clouding your judgment
You've realized you can do better
Or admitted that I can
But you were never the kind to admit defeat
There was a time that I couldn't picture my life without you
I cried to you not to go
Not to change
Not to leave me all alone
But now the best thing you can do for me
Is to never speak to me again
I never wanted to be this person
I never wanted to give up on you
But you've given me no choice
Wherever you are
Stay there
Don't come looking for me
Because there is nothing left here
For you to find

I thought maybe if no one else said it
It wasn't true
If no one else thought it
Then I could stay in denial
And pretend you actually cared about me
I should have known that can't last forever
But what can is the fact that
You made me feel like you're the only one
Who could ever love me
That's my fear
That I will be looking back at my life
And regret not having you in it
Though you don't deserve a leading role
In my future
You had a big enough role in my past
And I don't want you
To tell me you love me
Because I want to think that I won't say it back
But I could never deny you the love
You proved time and time again
Didn't belong in your palms
Because your hands drain me
They pull all my emotion out
And you use it the fuel your self worth
While demolishing mine

Your timing is impeccable
And I can't tell if that's something you strive for
Or not
Because it seems like every time the phone rings
I'm forced to say no
When all I want is to say yes
Because I don't know when
The next question will be asked
And jealousy was never my favorite
Dress to wear
But you seem to take all my hand-me-downs
But that one
But I'll sit here hoping that
The phone will ring again tonight
But expecting it not to be you
