I'M Still Here
I wanted,
to touch you in a way
that melts your soul,
but you pulled away
I wanted,
to be your shelter
to protect you from the storm,
but you invited the rain
I wanted,
to be your desire, all your
fantasies untold,
but you allowed yourself to stray
I wanted,
to be your protector
to keep you safe from harm,
but you pushed me aside
I wanted,
to be all that you've
been looking for
but you never unlocked the door
I wanted,
to make you see, you can be anything
you want to be,
but you just couldn't hear me
I wanted,
to pick you up and carry you through
all the struggles and all the pain
but you laughed at the thought
I wanted,
to show you that I'm stronger than you think
but you closed your eyes
I wanted,
to provide anything that you needed
but you denied me once again,
I wanted,
to talk to you about the future we could hold
but you turned on the radio,
to try to tune me out
I wanted,
to love you with such a passion
so fierce and so true,
but you said with so much anger
I deserve better than you,
I wanted,
to make you see what I see
when I'm looking at you,
but you broke the mirror
what can I do?
I wanted,
to write you a beautiful love letter
but the words wouldn't rhyme and it,
wouldn't touch you the way I'd want it to
I wanted,
to sing you a song that would make you
cry inside yourself but you wouldn't listen,
because the wall you've built around yourself
is almost impossible to climb,
I'd like to try...
