Realising...

Let me? Collect your tears? From…
The tales you’ve unveiled, I, Oh I, feel…
You might be a child, disguised, adult…
Like me…, alone, but not alone, maybe
You will… like me…enough to? Accept
My love, my love, my love… w h a t…
It's not?
Why is it not…
Enough…

Unspoken, I didn’t realise, that your tears
Freely given? Were finding their way, into
A vial, around my neck, so similar, cleverly
We use our (false) strength in silent need to hide
The neglect. How could I not? How could I not?
Be the one? Who do I really feel compelled...
To protect? You or the lonely you/me, instead

I thought all I had to do was…
Be the one with all the zest
I thought all I had to do was
Bend willingly to each request
I thought all I had to do was…
Be resolute in my uncomplaining…
I thought all I had to do was…
Welcome all of you into me

I didn’t realise that I had to
Wash the tears of my own child
I didn’t realise I had to
Feel the separation of my own self
Limb, from limb
I didn’t realise I had to
Face the isolation of my
own inadequacies, through you
I didn’t realise I had to
Find the will to love me
Just… As… Unconditionally…
As I love you...
