This Time it was You

This time it was you that was not deserving

With all your tales and accusations

With all your assumptions and mistrust

I put my all on the line

My heart and my soul

My life and my future

I gave you what all men want

My body and my love

My commitment and my devotion

You just couldn’t take it

It was more than you expected

Or was it that you couldn’t accept it all- maybe that’s it

I made you my priority

Waking up to the thought of you

Going to bed wondering how I can make you smile another day

You believed your own lies

I was cheating in your mind

I was deceitful to your face

I loved you more than anyone else

My heart couldn’t rent another place

I was destined to be right here in your face

I was made to be your wife

And spend my life with you

But you couldn’t let go to see that it was true

You fell in love with a ghost

Because somewhere you got lost

In the middle of the drama and the schemes and the lies

I pushed away the old

And made myself brand new

To present myself as a gift to just and only you

“I’m not the One,” you say, over and over in your head

But in your conscious you know it’s always been me

Blocking your thoughts, fueling your heart, and waiting for this day

So why won’t you take hold

Of all I have to offer

Did she rob you of so much that you can’t even recover

I feared the worst

And prayed for the best

It was You who couldn’t let Us be free

My love for you was unconditional

No one could compare

I couldn’t see past your smile and I didn’t want to share

For you I was just a mystery

James Patterson would be proud

But I am who I am and my lines I scream loud

I believe I’ll always wait

because I won’t let you forget

I molded myself this way- for you with no regrets

This time it’s you who isn’t deserving

Because you can’t accept the best of me

My heart and my future which I chose for our destiny

You won’t take my heart

As I’ve taken yours

to love and cherish for forever more
