If Only They Would Reach Out To Me – Written Tuesday 14th February 2006 (Aged 30)

If Only They Would Reach Out To Me

if only they would reach out to me
and admit what they have done
tell someone you love and care for them
makes everything seem harder
it feels like those words were never meant
because without the admittance or acceptance
it feels like the hardest thing to take
if only they would reach out to me
in stead i am forced to hand my head
whilst they hang a label upon my neck
all they do is patronise and contort me
and now, i feel almost half dead
if only they would reach out to me
instead of insisting i am somehow ill
and that is why it went so wrong
now, love and care is not something i feel
