you_never_understood
gull just because i drank three vodkas
when i was angry one night
doesn't mean i'm an alcoholic.

just because i threw a plastic cup
(and a newspaper) on the floor
doesn't mean i'm aggressive.

if you'd taken the time to get to know me,
instead of pushing me away all the time,
maybe you'd understand that.

if you'd listened to me once in a while,
instead of silencing me with your actions,
maybe you'd have understood.

and if you'd been able to understand,
maybe we'd have enjoyed being together,
instead of spending all our time fighting.

if i reminded you of someone who has hurt you,
someone who has caused you pain,
then i'm sorry. but i'm not that person.

and i'm not you, no matter how alike we are.
i see myself when i look at you just as you
see yourself staring out of me. but i'm not you.

so, when you stab at me with your poison dagger,
please realise that you won't make yourself bleed.
find another way if drawing blood makes you feel good.
