I told you how I chose you
you rejected all but a piece of me

I share an extension of my life force
you run away as if I am the one that couldn't be trusted
It's true that we are one in her
Conflicting views on what's best
Will literally tear our baby apart

I asked "do you want me to love you?"
Reply already! Answer clearly!
Stop this "an US right now would complicate things."

Don't call me baby
Don't say I'm yours
Don't you dare pretend to own me
When you can't even take interest in the rest of me.

I'm not caressed by your empty words.
I'm not comforted by your fleeting groping.
I'm not blind to your deception and slight of hand.
In, through, and after all that why would I want to love you?

The only answer I return to is this:
I have been given eyes to see

See pass your flaws and weaknesses
See pass your insecurities and smoke screens
See pass your failures and attempts
See pass what isn't really you

I've been given eyes to see
And what I've seen I love wholeheartedly
If only you too could have eyes to see.
