Committed

Potential is not a promise-
and that's all I've seen in you.

I've given every opportunity-
but you've never followed through.

(You once) treated me with kindness-
but I deserve much more.

I deserve a kind of love-
I've not experienced before.

I deserve consistency-
and I deserve the truth.

And I deserve my wishes-
(and all of) my dreams to come true.

I've come to learn from my mistakes-
that patience gets you nowhere.

Not when one's committed-
(to serve) themself. Although it's not fair.

(I) love you for many reasons-
and I'm not sure that will change.

But you've shown me by your choices-
you don't love me the same way.

Choices aren't mistakes-
see, they are conscious trains of thought.

You choose to make decisions-
that you know leave me distraught.

So, since you choose to hurt me-
instead of fixing what you've broken...

I choose to walk away-
my sense of worth has been awoken.
