Egotistical

EGOTISTICAL "I love you too much To fight you So I'm setting you free So you can fly happy Never wanted quit I must admit That this relationship Had an ego trip The turbulence Was too often It kept shaking my heart I'd rather keep it intact Than have it fall apart For all the wrong we did Glad to let go Time we kill this The lying Ego We use to care Show concern If we'd only stop Give love a turn But we blew it up A forrest fire now burns All we do is accuse And take turns While this ego Wiggle like worms Killing us both Soon you and I In urns So I had to stop I had the desire to learn Broke up with ego Cause my heart still yearns I love you too much To fight you So I'm setting you free So you can fly happy Never wanted to quit I must admit This relationship Had an ego trip No one wins But ego will ride Every wave or storm It never hides But shakes the ship And watch the fight Who won the war The battle was tight Put our souls at risk Did we ever ask why Tsunamis were better Floods real high Destroying the years Silencing the cries Of a love That was a natural high Ever wonder why We didn't try, We tell ourselves Pretty little lies I love you too much To fight you So I'm setting you free So you can fly happy Never wanted to quit I must admit This relationship Had an ego trip Unwilling to change This illusion of control Like the hunger games Kills the soul Causing emotional pain, Giving ego lava Sending hot rain Crumble like cassava We both lose Love was the aim But we invited ego The relationship can't tame I love you too much To fight you So I'm setting you free So you can fly happy Never wanted to quit I must admit This relationship Had an ego trip" (c)2018 Copyright All Rights Reserved By Suzette Campbell aka Queen'Anyah Divine 11/19/18

Well stated Suzette, the ego invades all parts of our lives if we let it. Hurt and pain come from the ego while love comes from the heart, no mind or ego involved. Keep up the good work.
