Feel My Pain
I can't wipe past betrayals away;
those transgressions are here to stay.
And while love holds no guarantee;
at the very least, trust in me.
Failing to reconcile old fears,
questioning love brings only tears.
And building emotional walls,
you ignore the truth when it calls.
Your fears choreograph each move
as if I've something to prove.
And as doubt denigrates your mood,
you act insane, getting unglued.
You think you're being ill-treated;
cursing your fate, you feel cheated.
And sounding completely deranged,
insults get angrily exchanged.
Armed with lies and a bruised ego;
you recoil, the wounded hero.
You don't give love, only receive;
and, in truth, constantly deceive.
When will you ever trust again,
put yours aside, and feel my pain?
Sullying my dreams with regret,
you're losing my love and respect.
