You asked me to love you
It was that look in your eyes
It told of a shattered existence
Lonely and afraid
Oh, how I knew the way you felt
I felt the same not too long ago
It was lust at first sight
But once that was over with
We didn't have much in common
Life took on a new meaning once
Our daughter was born
I had to pull up my pants
And become a man quickly
But I failed utterly
Nothing I did seemed right
You knew all the answers
And God forbid I spoke my peace
Years collided with one another
And I blinked and our daughter was three
Even after years of being together
You never gave me much credit
So love faded
And I became ill with contempt
Resentment
And anger
Not a pretty picture for our daughter
I just wish I was in love with you
But unfortunately I don't think I ever was
You moved your things in
Never asked me if you could stay
Just assumed everything would be okay
And you would live your life forever with me
I made you feel comfortable
As comfortable as can be
We made passionate love
Hot
And heavy
Steamy
Sticky
Love
But
I was no where near a commitment
You seemed like you didn't care
Then you got pregnant
Two fools who were unaware
Things changes
I have changed
You seem like you're staying the same
Demanding
Controlling
*****
Trying to tell me where to **** in the woods
I don't think it will ever work out
Between us
So I must let you go
I've kicked you out three times
Each time accepting you back
Because of some ungodly reason
Each time I felt sick
Because I knew deep in my heart
That I really didn't love you
Now this last time we're threw
No more games
I have to let you go
Relationships? If anyone knows what's going on with them, please let me know.
