I'VE GOT IT COVERED

I’VE GOT IT COVERED

Even though you cannot be bothered!

Yet you always knew that I was bothered

Never in a negative way either

I stuck my neck out

Why did you shout?

What was that all about?

You called me for help

And then you yelp

Is it any wonder that I know longer can be bothered

You left me stranded

Stuck here on these freezing cold steps

The rain pelting down

I saw you frown

I saw you in town

Oh yes dear buddy

Well it is getting to the stage you’ll no longer be that

I loved you!

Adored you!

But you knew that

Yet you are too scared to commit

You need to be in control

You want it on your terms

Nothing and no one matters

I know what lies beneath

You don’t think I know it

But you need to know it

You cannot keep running

Running away from your feelings

I know it and you know it

But you just keep running

Instead of confronting them

Your life would be so awesome

So wondrous

Spectacular

But I’ll sit here totally covered

And here is my message

Please be bothered!
