Incompatible Incompatible You’re drowning me By any means Issues Sorrows Insecurities Things that aren’t even as bad as they seem The misperception of your emotions Prevents you from thinking logically I LOVE you And you KNOW it But no matter what I do or say You constantly fish… For negativity I can’t take it Your burdens run thick Like sap from a tree Slowly gaining Eventually concealing Weighing down Hardening… Becoming almost impossible to pierce Without shattering You! When we get along Happiness is undeniably present It shines brighter than the sun And just like night and day When we disagree… You forget that there ever was a sun. Uncertainty… Runs deep in your veins Constantly feeling attacked Every word is an insult Making it difficult for me to speak Walking on egg shells I’m at a loss for words I lose desire to speak Tension on the rise Rage begins surfacing My mind drifts from restriction Now… I lash out when I speak Roles reverse Now your feelings are hurt And I become the agitator But even in the midst Of my so called harsh words Degrading is something I’ll never be I don’t tear you down You just like to think things through and through Until you convince yourself That you’re being attacked Abused… That’s not me It starts with you But when you see red There’s nothing I can do Just know you’re drowning me in your sorrows Makes me feel Incompatible © 2013 Craig Watson
