What I Made You Be
by Jessica K. Shannon
You are something predictable,
Quite addictive.
An unfulfilling, every day mistake.
Your simple words become poetry;
Your friendly touch, a sign.
My naive little heart would do anything
To make you mine, to make you mine.
{One thing's for sure... I fell in love with what I made you out to be.}
You give me pieces of yourself that you can spare;
The kind you don't mind to see disappear.
My hear twists to understand,
Why you think of me at all,
Why you find joy in watching me fall
{One thing's for sure... I fell in love with what I made you out to be.}
Haven't I made myself clear?
I can't have you near me;
It just isn't fair.
Just stop. Stop clutching
My heart with your polite gestures.
Tell me to back off;
Treat me like everyone else.
{One thing's for sure... I fell in love with what I made you out to be.}
I just want to know why you keep me hanging on.

There's a passage in The Little Prince that says (I don't know the exactly words once i've read the Portuguese version) something like "You become eternally responsible for the ones you captivate". I think everybody should have this in mind, it would help a lot those unreciprocal lovers, just like myself.
