Doesn't seem that selfish

No, not in the least

What's so self-rightous

About this curiousity

This want for a meager exchange

So much time has passed but still it remains

This need for you 

Is a reoccurring theme in my life



Don't you think I'm lonely

Eager to complete this story

Confused and still haunted

With why

You'd start over

And ignore me



It takes time to realize 

The other side of you

That's controlling

Blind in hindsight

Of our lives



Even if you left me and my brother

Even if you left us and our mother



Want nothing more than to catch your eye

Would you be impressed with how far I've climbed

Without your assistance

With you nowhere in sight



Don't you think I'm lonely 

Eager to complete this story

Confused and still haunted

With why

You'd start over

And ignore us



It takes time to realize

The other side of you

That's controlling

Blind in hindsight

Of our lives



Even if you left me and my brother

Even if you left us and our mother



She's had her share

More than we'll know

My brother won't

He just won't let go

They say you're sick and there's a name and a phrase

To apply and help explain

Still having trouble trying to separate

How you started a new family



Even after you left me and my brother

Even after you left us and our mother
