SomeBody

I know we’re distant but

I can hear you, you know?

Every time you put me down to others

& point out all the things

you would change if you could

You try and dress me up with things you buy

Hoping they will erase the times you make me feel bad

You never let me breathe

You say you forget

or you’re “too busy”

But what about me?

What about all the things I do for you?

What about all the things you put me through?

All the times I didn’t bail on you when I should have

You pretend to like me most of the time

But we both know how you really feel

I know you better than anyone

And yet you treat me like a stranger

Why? Why do you act like I’m not a part of you?

Without me you’d be nothing, I’m your body

So tell me,

Why don't you want me?
