Who am I to you

If I am your nothing,

Your opiate, your distraction

From mundane small talk

And the coffee that took years

For me to convince you to enjoy sipping?

Who am I to you

If I am but a text on the screen of your smartphone,

If it has become a chore to entertain my talk

Of "forever" and "always"

And if the words of my mouth

Fall upon a dulled heart?

Who am I to you

If you are my everything,

If you are my soul and my heart (and maybe

The reason I still get up in the morning)

And yet I am but an immobable stone

Blocking your path to freedom?

Who am I to you

If I love you beyond compare,

And yet you care

Not for me

At all?
