Cause and Effect

From the girl:
Mother used to always say
"All men are the same"
Whether you want, whether you may
They will always make you play their game

And then I met him

But then I asked him:
Why do you stand by the the river's bank
While the waves take me far away
Won't you mind and throw me that plank?
Is it too much to ask that you help and stay?

Won't you hold me tight, love and don't let go
When faced with a choice
It seemed all your promises were just for show
You let the tears run and my cheeks get moist

Over and over, I would still choose you
Again and again, you choose to hurt me
Was anything you said ever true?
You, you have messed up my reality

I hope you hurt forever
Peace may you never find

From the boy:
You misunderstand my actions
I don't mean to make you cry
Already, you have taken me as one without conscience
So why should I try

Then he said:
I don't wish you bad
I only wish you see yourself
The way He sees you
I only wish you see the beauty
I see
I only wish you see the wonderful person
The whole world sees you as
What we have, we give
I wish you nothing but self love
That you may one day give.
