My Better Half

by Dacey Flame   Dec 17, 2006


I look to you for support;
Because I can't stand on my own.
I want you to always be there,
when I call you in tears on the phone.

I feel like you don't hear me,
no matter how loudly I scream.
It's just that I want you to stop me
from falling apart at the seam.

I want you to care about me,
look after me like I'm weak.
Worry and fret when I do something dumb,
and listen to me when I speak.

I wish that you would take me,
hide me away from reality's lies,
together forever in nowhere at all,
I wanna see the Love in your eyes.

I live for you to hold me,
show me things will turn out okay,
and then when it does I'll never doubt,
I'll hear anything you say.

I fall flat on my face
when you spill out your heart,
when I can see your human side;
my protector falling apart.

I see how you feel about me,
and I always tell you the same.
But now I'm thinking maybe were only
together in my picture frame.

I freak out at decisions,
I never know whats best.
And thats why I'll never ask
Is this true Love just?

I hate you so much sometimes.
Truthfully, honestly, don't you see?
And other days your all I am;
your the better half of me.

I'm not the little girl you loved;
the one you fell so hard for.
Please, think, and then tell me this,
Do you Love me anymore?
