For Me

This is for me not you

Here I am again
Once again in some pain
Here I am again
Thinking about this small frame

Such a young life
And no fame
Living life like its a losing game
Do you even remember my name

Don't get mad
Don't be bad
Let go
But remember me though
This isn't for you, it's for me
No come for me no attack what you see

Let's be honest
Let's be real
I'll even tell you things you find the oddest
But I'll make you a deal
This isn't your sonnet
But it's like my meal
This is like my comet

It's there to make me feel better than I did yesterday
Something I'll read when I remember you and I'm old and grey
You know I wanted to ask you to stay
But those words I could never say
I know you think it's my fault but it's because you left me in disarray

And ok I understand this is mine
And maybe I'm benign
But I'm sorry you crossed the line

When I write I don't write for you
That's where you're wrong
When I write it's like my own personal song
Sometimes they're short sometimes they're long

But you gave up long before I did
I knew that all along
Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean I didn't belong
You gave up when you pushed me away and put your bid
It really through me in a skid
So I kid, and I hid, and eventually I blew my lid

I wish things could be different
And to this maybe I could be indifferent
But it sucks to love someone
Who doesn't know your like their gun
But they're your trigger
Someone who treats you with such vigor

I'm not done for
Don't consider me a bore
Open that door and remember that I wanted more
hope it hits you at your core
And from now on your tears pour
from one moment to the next body feeling sore
To you my love I always swore
This is my uproar to my encore
And further more
Remember our dream dogs a f*****g Labrador
But that's gone and done don't even think it's up for a restore
But I know I don't mean it my heart still screams like a battlefield war
