You Say

You say to call if I'm on the ledge
But you don't answer when I call
You ask what's wrong when I'm quiet
But get upset if I say
You want the details when you see my tears roll
but then you wish you didn't know 
You say you can't help if you don't know
But the truth is
you can't help anyway
You haven't lived the life I've lived
You haven't been where I've been
You can't understand when I try to explain
You've never experienced being in the military
You don't think like I think
You're mind hasn't been trained like my mind has
You get upset when I talk because you say that you love me
But you get upset when I don't talk because you say that you love me
I wish you would just hold me
I wish that you could just sit in silence with me
I don't want you to carry my pain
I don't need you to fix me
I just need you to let me be me
I just need you to love me
I just need you
