For the Sake of You

I’ve done everything you ask But it’s never good enough You just keep wanting more And it makes it so rough I can’t think of anything else I’ve done all I possibly can You still lack the faith You still don’t act like a man It’s always something more Every time I turn around Nothing can ever suffice So you run me in the ground I’m tired of never gaining This is the last time I do Anything with my heart Just for the sake of you You will never have faith Then things will only fall apart Again I won’t win anything But a lonely broken heart Sometimes I wonder why I tried Why I never walked away To escape the pain and tears I put myself through day to day I can no longer give to you Everything you ever ask Look inside to find some truth If you ever want this to last

Hey. This one kind of reminds me of one of mine.You commented on my poem entitled 'Sandcastles' and I just wanted you to know that is exactly what i meant. the walls (castles) I keep putting up are around my heart and the ocean waves are the hear-breaks and sorrows of most of my past relationships. That one is my most creative because I turned our yearly family vacation to the beach in Florida for Christmas into my own life experiences. you're the first to ever understand what that poem meant.
