I Never Wanted You To Have To Be Alone Poem by Prince ....

There's a difference in the way you smile,
behind those eyes, you now hide.
Over and Over I've tried to help you,
but you keep everything locked up inside.
Should I leave you in hopes you'll change?
Hell, even now I know things won't be the same
Why must you always make things so damn complicated.
It's only when I think of you that I become this frustrated.
Words have merely become spaces between us,
and you refuse to take responsability for all that you've done
I don't think you see how much you're killing me.
I'm trying to hold on, but at the same time I bleed.
I promised again that I would never leave you,
but after all the pain, it's harder to pull through.
Can't you see that I am on your side?
There's no point in all of these empty fights.
When I first saw you I wanted you to be mine,
but maybe it would have been better to leave you behind.
I've stuck around through every high and low,
but the lows have drowned the highs leaving me with no place to go.
You never even tell me how you feel,
so how the hell am I supposed to make this real?
No matter what I do you're moods always change,
and you act as if it'd kill you to have a little faith.
So many countless times you've made me cry,
and the ground has caved in between you and I.
It's all in your hands and yet you're throwing it away.
I'd rather you just at least stay the same.
What happened to that boy that I love?
Was this all just a chance for fate to see me cut?
I can only help you if you let me,
but time after time you choose to be so angry.
You've built up the walls too high for me to climb,
and still you act as if everything will be alright.
I can't even speak your name, cauz it causes too much pain.
I just wish you wouldn't be so vain.
I hope you'll understand that it's better this way.
We both now that it'd kill me to stay.
I realize now I can't bring you back to life.
I must fix myself now by telling you goodbye.
