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
