Reciprocity At Its Finest

Help that woman, Lord

You know I tried to

I offered her what I had

My love, sentiment, concern and empathy

But apparently-

I am still all kinds of *******

She brought a friend, unannounced

Which was cool wit me

I just want everybody to have a happy and care free time

But no one can explain the insane's mind

And you brought more food

I didn't want you to, but that's how you do

She wouldn't even consider that to be rude

So we dine and sip and you make nice

But you're really in a frenzy-

A frenzied state of mind

I dare say it was too much wine

But your aggressive nature is impossible to dissuade once you're there anyway

So

I just let you be...You

I did what I did from my heart most kindly

I just keep trying to lock this family together

A strong tightly braided weave of a family tree

It seems like the only one who cares is me

But others too, just like she

Think it must be fun to be who I be

But really, its a lot of ******** too

Really it is

But nobody can see it

They see only what they need from me

Not what I have been trying to do and be all along

But hey- that's family reciprocity at its finest...
