Grow Up
So what?
Believe what you're going to believe
I can't influence the deep recesses
The dark corners of your mind
I can't promise
That I can fix this
Remember?
I am broken too
Benefit of the doubt
What a joke
To think you understood
You are you
I am me
I can't be the pillar
The strength to hold you up
Stand on your own damn feet
Stop using me
Making me the only
Responsible one around
I'll give you a phrase
One i learned long ago
One that got me through before you
Self reliance is what you need
Not me
I can't be your mama
And your lover at the same time
And I can't be the man
In our relationship
When that is supposed
To be your job
Stop whining
Stop sniveling
I know you have the balls
So grab them
Do what you need to do.
Support your half
So I can support mine
GROW THE FUCK UP
Play time is over
Adulthood is here
Let me know when you are done
Done trying to be a child
Maybe then, finally
I can be your partner again.
