You don’t understand why he hates you
You don’t understand why he doesn’t want you
You don’t understand why one day he can humor your persistence
And another day he can’t stand your presence
But you know you love him
And from the moment you entered this whirlwind of life,
He was there
You knew you were dumb and confused
You knew on some level, everybody was
But you knew he was a little less dumb and confused than you were
And as a new blossom it is much easier to relate
To a ripening sapling than to a forest of tall oaks
He was your sapling
But rather than provide you shade he deterred your sunlight
You were an orchid growing on his branches
And despite the fact that you belonged there, alongside him
He ached to rip your petals off of his bark
You don’t understand why
