" My Life Without You"
ReplyDeleteI begged you on hands and knees to
try to live with me in peace, seem war
stayed on your mind
So here's the reasons
why I'm leaving you behind
I need space to think, to express myself
without- your doubt
Without - your eyes upon my thoughts
Without - your dagger looks and pouts
Without - the love/hate you feel for me
Without - having to ask what do you prefer
to eat
Without - being the rug under your feet
Without - taking your punches mentally and
physically
Without - wishing for the love I've never had
Without - hearing you're sorry, over and over
Again
Without - You pretending to be my friend
Without - the jealousy I feel you have
Although every day I give my best
Without - the evil you expose
Without - the weakness you show
Without - the non - support you show
for my talents each day
Without - responding to your negative ways
Without - the fear of being alone, yet relieved
when your gone
Without - feeling I've wasted so many years
Without - wishing I had a penny for each tear
For me there's something you can do, give me
back "My Life Without You"
