Literature Text

All you want for me
Is my safety and health.
You give me your love
And all the care you can muster
And it almost breaks my heart
Because you want nothing
In return.

You pick me up when I'm alone
Offer to take me anywhere I want
I want to be anywhere but here.

You call on weekends to ask
If I can come over
Just to pass the time with you.

When I'm around you
You make every effort
To make me comfortable.

You call to see how I'm doing
I hope you don't hear the
Falter in my voice over the phone.

If I were to tell you about
Someone crushing me down
You'd pick me back up.
But I can't do that to you.
I can't tell you I'm hurting,
Because it would hurt you more.

I'm sorry for all the lies
I've told you.
All the fake smiles
You've taken in stride.

I'm sorry that the one person
You can't protect me from
Hurts me the most.

I'm sorry that I never stop
To think how much you care.

It breaks my heart to see
Your love for me
When I can't even love myself.
So yea, this is for my grandpa who loves me more than anyone in the world should.

And as if there wasn't already a guilt trip in the miss he called me while I was typing this because I was home alone and he wanted to know if I was doing okay.

aww that sounds like the sweetest grandparent you could ask for... ^^ Wish my grandpa was around .__.

Anywhoo, in your fith paragraph I think you meant to say "hear" but you wrote "here"... Just a typo ^^

And in the first paragraph, did you mean "you" cus you wrote "your"... :P

You have beautiful writing
