Adolescence

Silence
Every time I ask you how you are
Standing right in front of me but might at well be on Mars
Everyday another challenge every night another dread
Why are you so hard to read, or is it in my head?

I am fine
Why are you saying this to me
What's behind every word you say
And all I know is that you
Never try so hard before to
Push me far away

Alone I try to reconcile if you're wanting to pull or push
When every other word is something meant to either lift or crush
Making every single word a threat that you will follow through
Did I do the right thing is this what I can look forward to?

Subtle innuendos follow saying things you never meant to
Start to read between the lines but wonder do I want to?
Every time I talk you act like you are miles away
Looking at the way we are it's my own life all over again
