A Book Dedicated To You
I wrote a book created in Love... dedicated to you
What more could I say... tell me what more could I do?
In matters of love, I was always the giver
In matters of affection… you never delivered
You continue to blame my actions of a distant past
A past when our foundation wasn’t even cast
Yet, I accepted it and tried to prove my fruitfulness
I gave my all to prove I’m faithful, to prove my truthfulness
In return, I received constant slaps in the face
Resistance, brick walls, and distance
With you, I was always on a chase
You never really had to put much work in
It's partly my fault that I was never on the receiving end
Considering it’s been this way since we began
I was constantly ignored...while all my love and soul I poured
Into you…
In your eyes I wished to be “the one”
In my arms, I embraced and loved your SON
Still, in me you saw a reason not to trust... and even more reasons to run
You opened my heart... and drove away pains of my past
In the end I gained strength... so all was not bad
In my heart love for you will always last…
I wish I could say more… but my love and pain won’t pass
I pray this heartbreak, our heartbreak… won’t long last…
