I Don't Love Right

I'm working on it though

By HufflecupPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Why do I always want you when you're angry

I kinda like it when you're mean

I never say the right thing when you're sad

For that, I'd like to blame my mom and dad

I wasn't really taught how to feel

My dad didn't feel anything

My mom felt too much

How do you find the right mix

When that's the recipe

I guess you could say I don't love the right way

It's just safer if it's me, myself, and I every day

If you've never been too sad to care about yourself

if you've ever been so anxious you can only think about everyone else

I haven't figured out how to love that

Who wants to be next up to bat

My love

It isn't perfect

But I'll always try my best

I'm not asking to be fixed

You aren't my therapist

But your love

Is the best thing for me

That I could hope to come home to
