You poison me with compassion
Smothering me with emotional dependancy
And you never listen
When I say it all means nothing to me
I'm making slow recovery
While trying to convince you not to take this personally
Yet you still insist on waiting for me
Why don't you ever listen?
I feel no emotion
And you find that hard to grasp so you tell me that you'll be the one
You'll be the one to save me?

I'd rather not get involved

Haven't been on here in a looong time (I'm talking years) but this was something nice to come back to.

Beautiful stuff, and I look forward to reading more.
