For You

Back and forth we go again
I can feel your disdain from here
The unresolved tension
like razors on my skin
We have come so far
Only to fall back into old habits
For as much as we talk
Nothing is being said

I have let you down again
I have fallen once again
from the lofty heights
Of your expectations
My best is lacking
Second best to an ideal
No one can attain

You push me away physically
Yet keep me hanging on emotionally
You want me to tell you my problems
Yet you say you have no time to hear them
There I still am
Unable to move forward
Unwilling to go backwards

For you
I have bent
For you
I have opened my eyes
For you
I have learned to trust
For you
I have let you inside of me
to a place no one else knows
