I like to give my love to you
Because you deserve it like no one else does

You walk this earth uniquely
You encounter my expectations ever so sweetly

I want to know you need me
That these feelings are not fleeting


Months ago he asked
if I think we'll be together forever

I stumbled
I am still puzzled

Who asks someone that?

My struggles now are solvable

Equations which are true

Equatable, and logical, there is all but an artful clue

I hope acceptance comes with age

I hope tranquility joins too

I hope my mind is full of things that are easy, and beautiful, and true

I hope that sunny days make me smile

And I hope I grow old for quite awhile

I hope that I am joyous and I hope that I am healthy

I hope that I have learned to love

Love Me.
Love Me.
Love Me.

He tells me I can break his heart

And he tells me

He doesn't feel anything

He sings that his heart is empty

He sings of love for his past



I am living in fear

I am living

but I am trapped


Please

Whatever you do

Don't walk back

And in every scene we act out

I am always playing the woman stuck between

loving you forever

and leaving you

before I am profoundly destroyed

I am stuck playing the woman I am

and the woman I want to be

I am caught between

accepting the love I know is there

and feeling like I don't deserve it

I am trapped between trying

and giving up

Men all the time look at me with prying eyes

They look at me with lust

over and over

Drunk on a desire to satisfy themselves



How special it is to love a man

and know he loves all of you back

Entirely as much as you allow

Let's try something new

You tell me pretty things

You wish me good morning and a happy afternoon

Let's try something new

Where I feel valued

And not just used
