(poems go here) My love is not for sale
I’ve put it on the market before
And went through hell
Just to make it well again
I’m tired of empty promises
Of I love you
And I want you
But your screwed me over again
And at the end of it all
You just want to be friends
My heart is out of business
People have witnessed it
Getting treated like dirt
And still now I know not its worth
And I have a weak mind
And a soft heart
So it’s a curse
My love
So deep
I feel like I can reach the darkest soul
I thought it would work
Or at least that’s what I was told
You turned my light off
Left me blind unable to see
Who you really are
And you came in my life
Just to dim my star
And you did it
Your job was to destroy my soul
And I’ve seen this game before
But I didn’t recognize how old it was
But I felt how cold it was
You left me damaged and corrupt
And my life came to an abrupt halt
When you came back
Talking about our past
As if it was good
And to deal with what you did
I cant stay sober
And if I drink my life away
Maybe it would blow over
But I didn’t
And the hold you have on me
Is so strong
That when you came back
The feelings flooded me
Like you’ve been here all along
Like a sad song
Trying to figure out
Why you did what you did
And the answer you hid from me
And not knowing why
Is why I cry myself to sleep
Or count how many heart beats
I’ve given to you
And it’s true
It takes time to heal
From emotional blows
That hit like bricks
And I was sick
To find that you left me here to die
Just to lie there and bleed
And you were the center of my attention
My only need
Loved you so much I was willing to carry your seed
But no
I wasn’t enough
My love wasn’t enough to keep you here with me
Near and dear with me
In my eyes you were perfect
My life
You’re worth it
And as I look over my life
It feels like I stabbed myself
With my own knife
And I wish I can say I’m over the situation
But this is part of my concentration
A sensation I don’t want to feel
And I don’t want to deal with anymore
So if I have to move away from you
Just to get away from you than
I’m long gone.
