No one understands
Don’t think anyone ever will
But still…
I try
The fear of being alone
Mixed around with the need to give
This Love in my heart
Sprinkle in truth
Stir in attention and affection
Place it in the oven for six months
Everything done perfectly
A new recipe never before tasted
Because no matter the attention
Paid to the details of the recipe
The batch always comes out burnt
One day the entire house will burn down
Then they’ll understand
They’ll see the little things
As they sift through the ashes
