All you wanted from me, is the semblance of normalcy,
So that we could crush and puppy love in our adolescence.
But what you got from me, is a broken bit of intimacy,
Sharing with you my fears, my tears, and obsolescence.
And though I tried my best to be, what is defined by society,
I reined in my dark and empty with quiet careful forbearance.
And it would grow ever so slightly, the dark growing ever so mighty,
So much that my mind would succumb in helpless acquiescence.
All I ever wanted from me was a defined sense of certainty,
That with a hush I could be free of my very quintessence.
And that I could be safe you see, in your arms with a sense of security,
Sharing with you my tears, my fears and my very essence.
