A slave to my own feelings

To my own disgust

I don't ant to be mistreated

Have my love be mistaken as lust

I gave what felt like my all to you

But what did you do?

You thought what you felt was love

But honey, was it true?

If it was, then why didn't you do anything?

Why didn't you push?

Because I was willing to fight and give everything

But you just kept hush

Like a little pup getting shamed for listening to his instincts

For not thinking but feeling

It was all a feeling, a rush, a trip

Count to 3 and our love could've taken off on a rocketship

But no we broke up

Everything vanished

You kept walking

And let your love for me diminish

But mine still stayed

And each night I cried and prayed

That God would bless me with love again

I wanted yours but you're too

Much of a fool to see that you had something good

Too much of a fool to earn me back

Too much of a fool to get your life on track

You're too busy playing games

One minute you're my friend

The next you're back to walking past me again
