Maybe

Maybe just maybe you scared me,
Maybe the big bang made me think you were hurt.
Maybe my heart skipped a beat,
As  I flew to my feet,
To rush to your side to see a hole in the wall.
Maybe it scared me thinking of what else you might do,
When you know better but you did it anyway.
Would you hurt someone else?
Would you hurt me?
As I hugged you there in the playroom I thought, "I choose this"
And that reminded me of that asshole who is full of maybes.
I sat back down next to you in your room and you started talking to me.
You were stressed I could tell and I was trying to console you.
But maybe you didn't want me to.
Or maybe I said something that you didn't want to hear.
Well the truth isn't always nice.
And you know me well enough to know I'm a truth teller.
I am a human I yelled and I don't always know what to say.
I don't expect you to.
Well I think maybe you kinda do.
Truthfully, I don't know what you want me to say,
What you want me to do,
I'm trying to understand your frustration,
Your worry,
But then your feelings get caught up ij a flurry,
And I,
All I can do is watch.
Watch as you get up angry.
Listen as you yell fuck.
Watch as you look madder and madder at me,
When really you can only be mad at you.
Maybe the truth is it maddens me that I can't be more helpful,
Maybe it hurt my feelings that you made it seem like I'm not capable of writing this paper,
Maybe life is full of maybes and if you let them the maybes will take over.
But we can't let them win,
Baby you can't let the maybes in.
Take one known at a time and travel from stone to stone,
You'll get to the other side slowly but surely,
Surely life is hard, life is tough,
But when things get rough,
Giving up is no maybe,
So don't hold your breath,
You'll scare me to death,
And in death you'll surrender all your maybes to King No
But maybe has the art of being a yes at heart,
Because you can't spell maybes without yes,
And yes it's corny at best but if you believe in you like I do,
All your maybes can become yeses to.
