Reclaim Myself

Unconditional love I bestow him
My entire being it seems he owns
Thoughts of him engulf my mind
So why am I constantly alone?

Forgiveness for all his discretions
Stupidity apparently all mine
What seems to draw me to him?
Ah yes, love is blind.

How long will I let him forsake me?
My heart his playground of pain
Promises with no meaning
Does he want me to feel only disdain?

Happiness it does elude me
So dependent on someone else
Sadness my constant companion
When will I reclaim myself?
