You Knew (04.07.08)

Whenever I was in pain
You knew too much
And assumed too little
As I was
Only in pain
When you
Were around

It was too hard
To live a life
With you around
Always in my face

Somehow
You always
Make it up
To me
And I can’t
Run from you

It’s powerful
And nerve racking
To have you
In the
Driver’s seat
During the
Darkest of my day

I don’t want you
But I need you
To comfort me
For all of time
Don’t make this
Hard on me

I was in love
With you
As you knew
You were
The object
Of my affections

You knew
That I loved you
But you knew
That I couldn’t
Stand you either
It pained me
To try to
Love me
