They want me to think
That they really love me
They try to make me believe
But I know what they do when they think I’m not looking
The unheard remarks
About how I’ve done wrong
Their shame is overwhelming
And I don’t want to smile
How could they not realize?
They think nothing of me
Yelling at me one minute
And then
Pretending like it never happened
They demand I comfort them
When they become upset
Where’s my comfort?
Where’s my love?
What do they do
When I shed tears that they caused?
NOTHING
They want me to love them
And give no love in return
They expect me to give
Them respect they could never deserve
I hate them
And they know
But yet they don’t care
Why not?
