Chapter 6 - I Thought You Ought To Know

I thought you ought to know,
That I think of you every day.
You comfort me even when I'm alone,
You feel like my only protection from myself.

Don't ask me why I wrote this,
Don't question why.
Thought you ought to know,
That I can't take my life as long as you're here.

You are my lifeline, and my help.
Don't be mad when I don't answer,
Don't be depressed when I refuse help.
The real problem is, that I care too much.

Too much to trouble you with myself,
I know you want to help me,
But sometimes it's hard for,
One such as myself to comprehend.

I've been through too much,
So your willingness to help me,
It really confuses me.
I'm used to that loneliness,
And I guess I'm going to change.

I think you ought to know,
That I've never cared so much,
About anyone else.
I'd do anything I could,
Simply to be near you.

So please, don't ask why I wrote this,
For I tell you now,
I've laid my feelings bare,
My intentions, and conflict.
I wanted you to know,
To know what you should have,
Long ago.

I thought you ought to know..
