Lesson
Once again you're here
Once again my heart feels fear.
Fear of falling for your lies
Your words are covering
my mouth and my eyes
Now I'm blinded by
your charm and
I can't ask you why...
Why are you here?
Why do you love to see me cry?
My mouth is open but
nothing will come out.
I can't do this to myself again.
Your lying and pretending
to be my friend.
You feed off of my hurt
and this must end.
Yes sweetheart,
I love your smell,
touch, smile, and voice but,
one thing you don't get
is that I love myself more.
So you must walk out that door.
No this isn't a joke or a game.
Time is ticking and
I still feel the same.
You can't control me anymore,
You went from powerful to weak.
I'm not done let me speak...
I can't handle the pain &
pressure for a
second of pleasure.
I know what I allowed you to do,
the keyword is allowed
so now I'm through.
So goodbye and
I'll never forget you
because I will not
forget the horror
that the devil gave me and
the lesson God walked me through.
