Rant of the Broken

If you only knew what you do to me
Play with my heart strings so gracefully
But you seem not to care
Of how you rip me to shreds like a bear

Your strong jaw bites down releasing all my air
Leaving me weak and without a prayer
Why do you hurt me so
When all I wish is to share my soul

Are you truly so oblivious
That you don't see the obvious
You're breaking me in two
When to your heart I've always been true

Am I too much?
Or not enough for you?
That you discard me so easily too. 

What do I have to do?
Tell me and I will do it
Just as long as you're willing to go through
Through the process of change and growth
To receive finally what we're owed
Happiness...
Yeah... That sounds like a lovely road.

I struggle, just because of you....I snuggle because that's what you like to do....I juggle my time just between work and my boo....and the reason I continue my toggle is because my Love Is Forever True....Beautiful patricia....;)
