Array ( [sid] => 34018 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Evil In Me [time] => 2004-02-05 21:42:43 [hometext] => I wrote this months and months ago and just came upon it yesterday. It's about seeing the dark part of yourself in someone else and realizing just how ugly it is. [bodytext] => I only wanted to feel wanted
A little bit of romance is too much to ask for
I only wanted to be really loved
I guess I can't ask you to hold me in the morning
I only wanted your attention
But I don't deserve to feel more than invisible
I only wanted to be happy
But I can't seem to go a day without crying

I can't not care
And I can't not be who I am
I can't shrug it off
I can't help hating you for what I am
I shouldn't blame you
But I can't accept it's my fault
Something's wrong with me
I know I only feel the way you feel

I can't put up with the things you do
But why can't you put up with the things I do?
I don't know what to do with these feelings
I don't know what to do about all these tears
I only wanted to know myself
I only wanted to learn how to love somebody
I only wanted to be there for you
I only wanted the strength to handle anything

It's not easy
To face the dark side of myself
In someone else
And realize how much I hate myself
Sometimes it hurts
To see you do the things I do
And turn away
Then realize I turned from me somehow

'Cause I only hate you when you act like me
When I know too well why you do what you do
It shouldn't be so easy to feel this way
But you'll never understand why I got so angry
You can't discern between the good and the bad
The evil in her is the evil in me
You say there's no comparison between us
Which is why you must really hate the evil in me
And I think I'm losing because
I can't find the good anymore [comments] => 2 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 32 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
