"Love Attack"

They love me/They love me not***

I tell you that I love you,
yet I never correct you whenever you are wrong.
I tell you that I love you,
yet I support your weaknesses,
not encourage you to be strong.
I tell you that I love you,
yet I silently watch you lash out at others
with harsh words, bricks, or stones.

Could my devotion to you be not from love,
but merely from my fear of being left alone?

Why is it so easy for you to face your actions
when we both think you are right?
But let me have a different opinion,
we're up throughout the night?
You seem well at ease,
and you sleep so comfortably in your makings ~

yet my soul is disturbed, and unable to rest
from witness of your undertakings.

I know that I vowed to cherish and love you,
for better and for worse
Yea! Didn't we both take those vows
and frankly, it was you who uttered them first?

I fear for the plight of my spirit,
and for the end of my soul;
for rightly now it is hard to tell~
will I watch you go off to heaven,
while I go off to hell??
