Isn't it a funny feeling; guilt
And the things we feel it for
I'm not sure which is harder; being unloved
Or being taught love is what it isn't
But both leave you robbed
And angry.
"
It took me two decades to understand,
You never knew how;
Yours came with strings of compliance attached
And obligatory love is a **** poor excuse for it.
"
I left, I left
And still the guilt came;
That unwanted visitor who refuses to leave.
