You are as you are
As I am me
Conceived from you I was
But different I will be

I come to you for caring
For loving and support
I tell you hesitantly
My worries and concerns

For it was you who approached me
The ones who asked me why
Why I seemed so lonely
My mask a great disguise

The suffering is great
The pain I sometimes feel
When I tell you my problems
And you just stomp your heels

You want an explanation
Not the truth, that is
I'm dying on the inside
Why can't I speak of it

The tears are falling down
Caressing gently my cheeks
It's more than you can do
You hate every second of it

Around we go again
The explanations and the lies
The discarded pleas for help
Oh how I wish I could die

I feel like you don't know me
As if I am just a stranger to you now
Oh wait I am
When did this happen? How?

I gave you all my trust
To confide in you, I did
But now I am just empty
From the pain of all of this

You took my heart
And crushed it
There is no doubt of this
For now I speak no more
Of the toils I know lie ahead

You look at me with curiosity
Oh how I wish to see
Your faces when you realize
That I'm no longer the person I used to be

I'm quiet and discerning
Alert and very watchful
I will not make the same mistake
It was truly awful

But don't blame this all on me
It was mostly you
Who took hold of my fragile heart
And broke it right in two
