Those three little words

You say I’m difficult

I’m hard to love and be with

That I’m corrupt and psychotic

An emotional terrorist

Out to make you and your life

So utterly miserable

And tried being vulnerable

Tried to let you be there

Tried to help you understand

Where I am coming from

Try and be more self aware

So I can tell you exactly

Which scars cause which fears

I just wanted to hear those

Three little words

The words that will never brush your lips

The compassion you lack

But all I wanted was to hear

Those three little words
