Resentment
From the moment that I met you
I knew that there would be
And unrequited feeling
And soul inside of me
Where I wanted to laugh
And I wanted to cry
The heart ache assisted
In time passing by
I'm not saying I'm over you
I'm not saying I've tried
The warmth of your soul
Lingered til the moment it died
You promised me nothing
So there was nothing to gain
Your nonexistent promises
Is what brought on my pain
So forever will you carry
The pieces of my heart
As long as were together
We will always be apart
Inside my mind is broken
With the images of us
The deceit and lies you started
Is what brought up distrust
This nauseating hold
On my being you impart
Will forever bring on feelings
That epitomize your heart
This contention and this hurt
Pent up inside of me
Caused dissension and resentment
That everyone can see
So I bring to you this promise
The kind you couldn't give
This love for you resides in me
However long I live
