Misplaced Trust
We only talk when
It is convenient for you.
I'm all but ignored
Whenever you're doing
Something else,
Someone else,
Something more important,
Someone more important.
You come to me
When you're feeling down,
Because you know
That I still love you,
That I still need you,
That I still want you,
That I still lust for you.
I'm your anti-depressant,
To be used as needed
And then put back 'til later.
I will be here for you,
I will make you feel better,
I will make you feel happy,
I will make you feel loved.
And then off you go
Just like always,
Just like every time before.
I am yours but not yours,
You are mine but not mine,
Always hanging on by a thread,
Always still unresolved.
But I place my trust in you
Because I long so very much
As you tell me you do,
To be yours again,
To make you mine again,
To give things another chance,
To give you all I can.
It is convenient for you.
I'm all but ignored
Whenever you're doing
Something else,
Someone else,
Something more important,
Someone more important.
You come to me
When you're feeling down,
Because you know
That I still love you,
That I still need you,
That I still want you,
That I still lust for you.
I'm your anti-depressant,
To be used as needed
And then put back 'til later.
I will be here for you,
I will make you feel better,
I will make you feel happy,
I will make you feel loved.
And then off you go
Just like always,
Just like every time before.
I am yours but not yours,
You are mine but not mine,
Always hanging on by a thread,
Always still unresolved.
But I place my trust in you
Because I long so very much
As you tell me you do,
To be yours again,
To make you mine again,
To give things another chance,
To give you all I can.
