Canukerfut Choices

You choose to speak with me
When you do

You choose to come to me
When you do

You choose to give up, and give in
To me
When you do

And yet I blame myself
For your pain
Your hunger
Your hurt, anger, shame

You choose to take from me
Yes you do

You choose to give to me
You do

You choose, you choose your pain
Yes you do

And yet I worry for you
Your ignorance
Your naivete
Your silence, worry, nuance

I can never bear your burden
Nor bury your pain
Nor be your joy
And its my fault if I even try
to protect you from yourself

Because all you are I want in me
