You tell me you love me
Then why am I still here
At this table
Listening to your yelling
My ears burning
The tears falling
Do you know why?
You think of a different reason
You don�t know the real truth of why I am crying
Your yelling doesn�t scare me
The truth scares me
It hurts me
And yet
You don�t know the real reason
You ask if I am jealous
I am silent
Of course
You have split your love between the six of us
I have but the teensiest fraction
You know that I am jealous of the youngest
Do you know why
Do ask why
You act like you are listening
But I know you aren�t
If you were
You would understand
How I feel
If only you knew my secret
Would you believe me?
Would he lie to you?
You listen to him
I am no longer your baby
No matter how hard you try to tell me I am
I depend on you
But it is fading
