obligated
you want me to smile at you
and say that life is okay
and life is good
you want me to touch you
and hug you, kiss away your fears
my lips aren't that powerful
with every expectation you
have of me
you push me further away
with every piece of my life
you don't want to accept
you drown a bit of what you
and i had
i can't see myself in your arms
now and i wondered how i was
ever there
i try and talk to you
and reason
figuring out why you can't
somehow see that i am not your happiness
i never was your happiness
and you weren't mine
and here i am feeling obligated
obligated because i can't be with you
and i wonder how i can care about
you but not want to touch you
because touching you means
bringing you closer
and i can't do that
because my heart isn't that powerful
either
