fragile

  
you're noticeably missing
I feel I'm to blame with my callousness  
   
massaging your ache I take it into me
it becomes mine--  
I cradle it to me, my child of pain,  
   
feel me surrender to you utterly  
caressing the storm that is your intellect    
addressing your internal conflicts    
   
I know you love me...love to hate me I make it so easy  
but still underneath you can't help but be soft for me  
   
fragile...you think I don't see?  
bending to my will  
wondering  
when  
when I will just listen to what you're really saying  
   
conflicted feeling assault me  
I'm crying on the inside...breaking down  
   
yeah, I love you too...  
this hurts more than I show  
your pain is my own child  
   
I cry tears of the forlorn  
until we resolve our differences
