You tell me to be more positive
But if you really listen to what I say
Even with my pain and suffering
My outlook is still pretty good at the end of the day
I know we are not close
A chasm of ambivalence I cannot hide
There is a distance between us
Because of this I cannot confide
It’s hard to open up
If you are not understood
And so I isolate
I did the best I could
The issue is not about loving
It’s more about the failure to connect
If you can’t care for yourself
Why should I expect you to protect?
Our family has not dealt with Alzheimer’s
But I can sympathize with those who do
This is what is most heartfelt
No meaningful relationship that is true
