Visions of our future
drift through my mind
scattered and broken are they
through trials and tests of time
feelings of abandonment
though you'd never really left
and dreams I'd seemed to carry
alone on my shattered back
where were you
when times were so hard
for there next to me
your smile never faultered
and your carefree never dimmed
had you ever worried as I
or wondered if we'd survive
or had you taken for granted
the pain I carried
and the way I struggled on
here in the present
with fear in my eyes
can you feel my unhappy
resting at your side
will you notice how I'm writhing
or plant excuses at my feet
will you learn to pull your weight
or leave me to defeat
how long can this last
when I feel so beaten down
alone in my worries
forever seeking a crown
of approval, of your thanks
sheltered in regret
will you ever be enough
to calm my storming head
