I held long where I didn't belong

Where I should have walked away I kept running back… I believed in nothing Only speculations of what love is, kept me there. I deserved better yet i waited too long Longing for things to get better… I was lied to! Deceived and given empty promises… I got used! Troubled and thrown to tremble and die I waited long to see that i’m not where I belong. Facing reality was hurting not knowing that… That it hurts even more when you stay long while you don’t belong…. My love lured me it lurked me into a jet where I never belonged. It looted all my trust my freedom into an exile of loneliness It sold me out and made me long for longer period Where I never belonged to last so long… Letting go what I held too tight I got uptight Nothing could make it right because I thought that’s where I belong. Destiny was an illusion an intrusion to where I longed to belong. Letting go did sound impossible How possible was it for me to accept that … That I invested much where I didn’t belong? Right now that I've noticed I’m heading back home where the heart longs to be… The shame of looking back kept me going It wasn't long ago that I've actually realized that that wasn't where I belonged.
