I wrote this when I was dating one girl that put up too many walls to suppourt herself from whatever problem she had. She couldn't lean on me even though I was very sympathetic and empathetic to her problems, and I really wanted to to help. She would be enerjetic around everyone else BUT me, and would come to me drained and extremely unconversive. Maybe she could have been an introvert pretending to be an extrovert and saw me as one place she could truly be herself. We're still friends to this day, but we only talk about the good things, so it never comes up and never worries me.

Every day seems just like today.
I wonder why you act this way;
you look at me, and I see the pain you hold inside.
Tender words cannot break your pride.
Moment by moment the tension will rise,
untill the bonds begin to die.
All I can do is just stand by,
because it only gets worse the more I try.
To the point where we can't look eye to eye,
and in the end we won't even say goodbye.

Is with you the place to stay,
or should I turn around and walk away.
To leave you behind in the mess of your life,
or should I stick with you on every strife.
Right now, I see nothing to gain;
all i'm finding is misery, sorrow and pain.
With you I feel that last is the place I finish,
even though you say I've fulfilled your wish.

Now I have a wish to hope and pray on;
some respect from you that I can rely on.
if this isn't granted, I will walk away but not run.
There will be no way to fix this then; it will be done.
