Why do you beat yourself up?
because you had the courage to love
gave all of yourself in hopes that she was the one

Why do you beat yourself up?
When it was her choice to be unfaithful
Her choice to hurt you

Why do you beat yourself up?
Knowing that you had done everything for her
supported her, comforted her,
loved her more than you loved yourself

Why after she laid down with someone else
do you still love her? and want her to love you
Why after the repeat of hurt and trust being lost
do you think that she deserves a love as pure as yours

Why do you beat yourself up?
over what you could have done better
when you know deep down there was nothing

What makes you search for answers as to why
when they will not change the past
Nor mend your broken heart

Why when a person decides to cheat do we blame ourselves?
why does it make us question every little detail about who we are
Make us think that we are not worthy of love

Why when a person cheats do we still long for them to change
Realize how wrong she was, and fall in love with us again

Why do you beat yourself up?
When you deserve more
When all that you have done is loved someone completely

Give yourself time
You will see that you are still you
Still wonderful, beautiful you

Nothing has changed except your experience in love
And your determination to share love with another.
