Nothing to say,
and so much.
Nothing left to do,
but still so much undone.
So much I wanted but you wouldn't say
which way you wanted me to turn.
It was all about you,
to me.
I tried to make it clear,
but still you thought
I was doing it all for me.
A show for myself.
But honey--I'm not that vain.
I love to act,
but backstage is calling.
The minutiae.
The momentum pulling you from me
as time goes by;
we see what we want to see.
You don't see
what I want you to of me.
There's a loyalty and a devotion
caring, loving, endearing,
and even now, I'm going all wrong
again
because I'm telling you about you.
And you--I've got you all wrong.
Why don't you fix my mistakes,
