The Neglect of Love

I realize that the trust has been broken Basically by a selfish acted mine And I know you’re upset and angry At my deception and that everything just can’t be fine And through all of the emotions you decide to stay At first trying your hardest to ignore the position I’ve put you in But the feelings have caught you dead in your tracks This was a fight you just couldn’t win So instead of dealing with the problem That I was so willing to heal with all my might All of a sudden you block me out entirely Something I had expected though I was trying to make it right So I dealt with it and sucked it up But days turn into weeks and weeks into months Of this cold hearted routine that you had put on But deep down its what you had become I would apologize so sincerely But you would roll you eyes and say I done heard it To an extent I agreed with you And I guess I agreed I deserved it But nights now turn so cold and with sharp pains I lie in my bed not acknowledging my TV Just up for hours at a time Wondering why you just don’t go ahead and leave me Love is neglecting me and For some reason it wont let me go on Every time I tell it to go ahead and leave It seems to want to apathetically hold on But I don’t need your unexpressed pity And you feeling sorry for me But I still have sorrow in my heart… The heart that loves you unconditionally But what do I do now Now that It has emotionally rejected me I guess take a stand Because love itself is neglecting me
