Uneasy Conversation

Pain

We really need to sit and have a long talk about what you’re doing to me. You got me thinking that I’m wrong for wanting things that I want for me. I love you with all my heart and you are my everything. I never imagined that trying to be here for you would diminish me. And I’m trying to be strong because I know thing’s in your life just aren’t going right. And because they aren’t, maybe you can’t see that you’re neglecting me. But am I wrong for wanting to know where your commitment is to me. Open roads forever winding and destinations are unknown and it seems like I’m traveling alone. Everything isn’t picture perfect for this perfectionist and I need assistance too. And I’m alone on my journey because I’m trying to walk with you. And I do what I do trying to make me over for you. But I’m standing alone in all that I do; I’m losing myself trying to support you. Wanting more from you, but accepting less because I know you’re going through. Tearing myself up inside because of things you don’t do. And over and over again, now, I’m wondering why I love you. So am I selfish for wanting you to make some sacrifices too. I put aside everything I ever expected from you so you can get to know you. I can only hold on to all of things you used to do. So are you hearing me, because when you spoke I listened to you? And even if you can’t make one adjustment to appease me, speak up and just tell the truth. Lord knows I’m tired of fighting me and I’m ready to self-destruct from this misery. Did you hear anything I said; I’m waiting for you to answer me.
