You’ve pushed me to project
Now I play out all the faults and defects
The similarities are really hard to feign
As I fall into the same trap once again
And now here are all the things
You never knew you knew
About yourself
And that you wish you knew
About somebody else
That somebody else is me
I hope this helps you see
All the pain apathy brings
Always searching and reaching
I needed to be needed
For someone dependent and beseeching
But this weakness has never succeeded
Just feeling drained from all the leeching
With my confidence constantly receding
And now here are all the things
You never knew you knew
About yourself
The deceit and the lies
You told to someone else
That someone else is me
How will you ever break free
When will you ever realize
Am I really scolding you?
Or just screaming again at myself
I guess I’ll never get through
Best try again now with someone else
But the one thing that’s always true:
It’ll just be another you
And now here all the things
You never knew you never knew
About yourself
And that I wish you knew
About myself
And there’s more to we
Then both you and I see
But the one thing I wish we knew
Is the real reason why we are through
Author notes
first new one in a while, enjoy.

hmmmmmmmm ... still on with this 'why did you go' stuff huh?

okay, I'm not going to say a word about that (you KNOW how I feel about that harping!)
This one was long, but I bit the bullet and read it in its entirety ... your rhyming worked well, but I found it faltered every now and again (hell, what do I know! I can't rhyme to save an eyelash!)
but ... the sentiment behind it was brought to the forefront and yes, I paid attention
