That's Fine

That's fine

Ok you don't want to love me...that's fine...
But do not stand there and try to tell me how I feel 
and do not stand there and make it seem like my love wasn't real
I can scream on top of my lunges telling the world 
standing at the edge of a ledge to a building ready to plunge to the concrete below...but why bestow my problems to everyone...why let everyone watch me leap to my death exclaiming that I have nothing left in my heart that you ripped apart...I could start robbing...
fighting in a ring ducking and bobbing to fill the void of the love I just lost...but I'd rather tell you...
Ok you don't want to love me that's fine
But don't you stand there and try to blind my mind with hateful words 
and do not stand there and curse me to make it worse...see...as much as you try to despise love...and push love away...I was there for you helping you stay strong no matter how wrong I was...'cause I love you...ok you don't want to love me that's fine...but I was still there for you helping you through your depression...
and being the man I needed to be...the man I thought you needed....
I felt my mission was completed....but now my work and years of my life are being deleted...and my head can't take no more...of being shoved towards the door...all because you don't want to love me no more....that's fine...
