(First Love Yourself)
This man loved me for me
With all of my idiosyncrasies
Including the lunacy
Regardless of how I loved he
He was all about me
Not the beauty on the outside
Or the way I made HIM feel
He loved me for me
Just ME
Even my UGLY
Even my BEAST
No matter how I screamed or kicked or abused him
He was there
With all of him
What did I do with his undying love and devotion?
I threw it back at him in disgust
How could ALL of HIM leave ME feeling like this?
Unfulfilled, unhappy and unloving to him
Yet he stayed faithful and dedicated to me
I BLAMED him for loving me
I hated him for knowing the ugly in me
I HATED him for KNOWING and STILL loving me
I discounted his love as insanity
How could any self-respecting man tolerate all that I give to him?
So I **** on him
Crippling his spirit
And breaking his heart
As he screamed in pain
I looked at him
Agony on his face
I laughed at him
I called him weak
Said his love wasn't enough for me
Only now I see
It was me
Who didn't love me
