Nothing hurts worse
Than to feel you trip me from the start
To see you laugh at my folly
At my childlike ignorance
Isn't ignorance supposed to be bliss?
Then why the hell am I so frustrated?
Wishing I was more to you
And maybe more to myself
Wishing I knew what to say and do
To make you see me
To make you understand
And to taste the brackish taste of loss
The taste of tears in your mouth
My tears of frustration and confusion
Wishing I was more than just a child
Beyond the infant you carry around
More than just me
But a woman that you would search for in a crowd
Not just the little one you can't see for my smallness
I wish I was more to you
More than anything
