I Let You Have It

Erased from my mind to start over again,
Living without the pen in my hand,
I chose to use a pencil because.....
I can easily erase all the hurt that you've caused,
You treated me like I was your school project,
And I will no longer give you the leverage to flaunt it,
You had my heart and carried it around,
With your briefcase under your arm in front of a crowd,
I let you have it right under your nose,
I gave my heart to you, it was nothing you stole,
I allowed you to use me this whole time,
Because I loved you enough to share my life,
