Expectations exceeded
Having trouble keeping up
Spoiled for choice
A sudden turn of luck
Expectations exceeded
Having trouble keeping up
Spoiled for choice
A sudden turn of luck
Reaching out across space
Sending grace in my stead
Distant, but not disconnected
Try my best to maintain
Reaching out
Expanding proximity
Distance makes the heart forget
Fondness, less and less
That feeling of elation, now anxiety at best
A sense of some great loss
Even with all these advances, none make time to talk
They stopped caring long ago
Whenever I reach out, I get a half-hearted “Hello”
I know it’s oft one sided
Few of them ever cared near as much as I did
I wish all my time could be returned
So much pain caused by being stuck with the last words
Generosity seems to be some finite kind of source
The more that I express, the less others export
At my core, I’m selfless
I leave myself empty handed
Give away everything and leave myself defenseless
My senseless state of being
Stretching myself thin
Always giving, not receiving
What happened to the trust I used to place in friends?
For many years it has been impossible to lend
I get the short end of the stick
Rather, they have both ends through ignorance or tricks
Teach a man to fish, it wont matter anyway
He’d still rather ask you to give your fish away
Saying “Sorry, I forgot.”
Or some other lame excuse
An insult to my stock and my moral fiber used
I’m made of better stuff
You don’t deserve mine
I don’t deserve that one way trust
