Not Made For You

Empty and bare
nothing left
I gave it all to you

My heart and soul
yours to hold
Until you were through

Ultimate love
I changed for you
Only to finally see

After giving you all I had
you wasted me carelessly

I need a longer embrace
More kisses on my face
My hand held like I belong to you

More flowers for my stand
An everlasting man
who cherishes what was made for him

But
Now I realize
It won't work
you and I
I was not made for you

You need less than me
And I need more, you see
I was not made for you
