You have everything you want
Standing right in front of you,
But it's not good enough,
It's never good enough.
I do everything I can to be
Everything you need,
But you won't take it from me.
You don't want it from me.
You can't confide in me.
You always hide from me
And all I can do is love you,
Care for you and be scared for you.
I spend my lonely days alone
Wishing you were there for me
Not knowing if you care for me;
But gaining hope at those rare times
Just to have it swiftly taken away.
It's a game you play with my mind,
Not consciously, but some day you'll see
What all this really means.
Maybe realize how much I care and try
How much I want to provide
But I'm never given the chance
I want to love you.
Just give me the chance.

Wow
You know while I might have at other times tossed this aside as over worded, i've got to say that this says so much and while it doesn't flow like a poem so much it sounds like it could be a hit song in context. It just has a certain rhythm and flow that is unequaled.
