Crying for Your Pain

At putting up with shit
You have gotten good
There you just simply sit
Would help if you could

But I don't need an ear
Just need to be told
Despite my stupid fear
You have not grown cold

It's stupid and pointless
To sit here and cry
It's not about all this
It's about your eyes

They often seem distant
They seem to be hurt
You say you are content
But you sound so curt.

I know what I have done
I know I screwed up
Do you wish I were gone?
Or just less messed up?

When you say, "You're Pretty"
And "I love you too"
Is it more than pity?
Is it really true?

When you think of your love
Is it a thin ghost?
Is it here that you love?
Or out on the coast?

What if it is all lies?
I do have my doubts
A small part of me dies
When untruths come out.

I feel you slip away
Your love disappears
A little more each day
At least that's my fear

Each time you speak the words
My heart heals inside
Your silence cuts like swords
Just your time I bide?

I feel insistent fear
Love is difficult
Though I shed all these tears
No, they aren't your fault

These tears are for that pain
I caused you yet again
