Locked Door

Can’t you just talk?
I’m not saying you have to understand
And I don’t expect you to give me your hand.
But why do you always have to walk
Away from what’s difficult?

Am I the only one thinking this through?
I’m so tired of not knowing what to do.
I’ve been on my own in every way for so long
And you’ll never be willing to just walk along.
I can’t handle all this dishonesty.

You are acting and saying what you don’t feel-
Why are you so afraid of honesty?
Say the words that just my hurt
Because right now I can’t possibly heal.

All I do is pretend I’m okay
And all I want is to just say
That I messed up, but I tried to do what was right
And I still see how it’s worth the fight.

But it seems I’m the only one fighting…
Can’t you tell me what is real?
Maybe the downfall has become my writing
But why should it be kept under lock and seal?

Do you think of me at all anymore?
Can’t you see beyond your door?
Everything you do hurts me a little more
Cause I’m standing on the other side of that door.
Waiting… waiting… waiting
