He Never Will


He drives me crazy But I still have to love him He asks but doesn't tell He borrows but never lends He is there, but never, here And I know he never will be He fusses at my mistakes Turns it into an ordeal So I turn to others for encouragement, Since I know he never will I don’t ask too much from him Why bother my lungs for the breath? I just leave them to regulate, no extra intake, for a wasted sigh But when he talks, we all must know His latest sob story or issue or excuse I wish he’d keep his problems to himself But I know he never will I don’t want to care or worry I want him to disappear I don’t really want to love him But I know I always will
