Its My Fault

I was there for you through thick and thin Opened my arms up to welcome you in As if I could feel when you was down and out Dropped everything for you without a doubt Then to be played by you without any thought When you led me to believe it was love you sought As time went by yes it's my fault I fell for you Strung myself along thinking that you was true But you see boy this right here is high class Not down in the sewers like your Donatello ass Let me stop see everyone knows that I'm not mean The same woman I've always told you i've been In life we all have a certain responsibility Didn't think you playing me was a possibility As time went by yes it was my fault I fell for you Strung myself along thinking that you was true I'm the only one who should be feeling shame When it was all done and said I have myself to blame In the future I hope someone hears when your soul cries Like I did so long ago not realizing it was only lies Cruelest thing you did is awaken my love inside When your intention of loving me was denied To you I was a chapter and to me you was a book Guess you was never mine still my heart you took Shattered and broken is the loudest quiet sound I promise you'll look for me in others but never be found I was never one of those damn demons you fight You didn't look inside of me to see gods divine light Yes as time went by it was my fault I fell for you And it was I who strung myself along thinking you true Still pieces of my heart broken has love for you so pure Softly I cry wondering how much more pain I can endure https://soundcloud.com/brenda-chiri-649321782/it-was-my-fault

Must of missed this one, Poetess. Wayne Kingston knows the bobby: "There's a rapper out there who wants to make this a hit single!!! Don't let him down, Queen." :) Spot on, Wayne!! The "Queen" of rap indeed! :) john

It’s sad when people we care for betray us. This is well expressed, so sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs Rick.

Keep beauty slamming those fool beasts, Fem Warrior you!! I really LOVE this poem, Bre. Your poems breathe passion, your ink sultry burns. You melt hearts w/your intense ink. This poem reminds me of Phyllis Hyman's sizzling song, "It's Not About You." Powerful heart truth medicine this poem be, dear friend. Love and best wishes for the holiday.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ0Ed3Zlg7E
