Why didn't I realize that you loved me?

writing just to get it back, I haven't written in over seveal months. hope you like.

Even when I was young

(when I didn't have a clue)

I was the only one to hide

(under all those clothes)

No one ever noticed me

(under all that hate)

No one ever glanced my way

(though I shouted and shouted)

As I grew 

(into the years I went)

I became the thing of hate

(As I so willingly did)

Pushed them away

(yet didn't want to)

When I was older

(I hated the place called home)

I learned never to speak

(never to speak my mind)

Every chance you got

(through your drunkness)

You drew my blood

(and i even learned to like it)

And yet when I laid down on your deathbed

(a young man you died)

I never shed a tear

(I hated you)

I never realized you loved me.
