It's not me or you, it's us

I'm too fatigued for this miscalculated seige
My soul has departed since the recreation I had started
I've witnessed too much yet you bloat me with fog
You blunder easy words and treat me like the dog.
My devotion is dying, now there's no use in crying
Mother said I'd have better days, which are gifts that we should treasure in other ways
Father so jaded, majority of memories have faded
He must have taken my youth with that first baby tooth.
Many lessons are taught whilst friendship is bought
Precious time you can't relinquish and expect nothing to diminish
Presently hoping that my awakening will bargain some dignity
I'd repulse at them to coax then pity me.
If I've found anything here, then loves cost is dear
Although it is everything, it can make you nothing
With out it we are corpses, merely spooking horses
Abundance brings emotion too powerful to bare, that is if you genuinely care.
This isn't the end though it's all I've got
Writing is a passion I almost forgot
It keeps me alive when I'm going insane
Sometimes they tell me there's something wrong with my brain.
It's genesis was you, and I'm a fresh book
I'll be honest and holy, if you mind to look
If we will not splinter each other, then my wings may flutter
I'll be the ink I ignore, and melt into you like butter.
In my fairytale, I'm cheerful and clean
The spirits they fuel me, and I'm rosy and beam
Its a delicate plight, but with integrity we might
Fall into understanding, if only you weren't so demanding.
Words continue to dribble and I'm running out of juice
I wonder where this talent comes from and whether it has any use
I can't be sure what life has in store
Yet I don't believe it's as obtainable to relieve.
