Do you know?

<sub>Words don't come easy to me and I'm tired of your questions.

Feelings are aliens to me and I'm tired of reading the signs.</sub>

Isn't there a short cut for answers?

I'd like to go to bed just once without feeling mentally exhausted, _{like you leave me.}
I'd like to sleep through the night without worry over you.
I'd like to spend a day without having to say, "I care for you" or "Stop it!"

I wish I could tell you everything. Tell you everything without hurting your feelings.
I wish I could just say that I hate it when you despise yourself.
I wish I could yell at you and shout out loud: "Just shut up! You're not the only one suffering!"

I'm also aching, you know?
Of course you don't!

Did you ever ask?
Sure you did, after I told you that I was done for the day!

Do you even care?
I guess I'll never know.
