Us and them

They'll be the love of your life
Or the end of it
They become the means
And not the way.

I'll attempt to be more open
As you shall shut me down
I"ll be the best
At being the worst.

You can be so sweet
With your unintentional cruelty
You can love me so deeply
Deep enough where I drown.

They could learn a little
I could get in that car and drive
You could shut up and hold me
We will turn our heads, yawn, and walk away.
