You Can’t Say

when you love her you can't say

you fucked up and left me alone too much

you gave me the gift of generational curse

you love him more than you love me

when you love him you can't say

I'm terrified of a boring life with you

I can't stand it when you drop the conversation,

drop the ball

drop the lifeline

you're not paying attention

(again)

when you love her you can't say

there's no reason for you to lie to me like you do

do you really think I'm that stupid?

for someone who lives in a glass house,

you really throw a lot of soft-ball sized stones

when you love him you can't say

I take it all back

the youth I gave you

the energy

the time

the pieces of me I'll never see again

I take it all back

when you love her you can't say

you should've been there

you should've known

you should've just done your fucking job

when you love him you can't say

you weren't there

you were never there

and when you were, you weren't

I don't even know you

I never did
