What was it babe?
Why did you leave?
Did I not treat you well?
Did I neglect or ignore you?
I don't think you'd say I did.
But what was it then?
Did I not listen to your concerns?
try to help and offer my council?
Talk about things that were on your mind?
Put your worries above my own?
And do my best to console you?
Did I not offer my time and attention?
Did I not do everything I could
to soothe your hurts and comfort you?
to hold you close and kiss you sweetly?
to offer you everything inside of me?
and hold nothing in reserve
Why treat me so unfairly?
why scorn me and reply with hatred
even when I turned the other cheek
Did you ever love me?
Do you know?...
Do you see what you've done?
You've thrown away someone
who truly loved you.
You've taken my heart
and torn it in two.
You said I was safe with you
and you wouldn't leave.
but that too was a lie....a lie
next to the pile of others you fed to me
and I willingly ate them...every one....
You said I wasn't confident enough
that you needed someone strong
you said you couldn't tolerate me
asking what was wrong
Let me tell you, sweetheart
I am the strongest man that has ever lived
I am as confident as thunder
after the lightning strikes
You only knew the person
that yielded to your every whim
but that person that you knew
died when you destroyed him.
and in his place now resides a man reborn
a thousand times what he was before
a man that no long cares
if anything is wrong
the man that knew your lies were just that
but he was restrained within me
by love for you
but now he is set free
The one that saw through
that beautiful gaze
to the walls of stone
that encase your lonesome heart
the very walls that separated us in the end
or kept us from ever truly being together
those walls
that no one can breach, my love.
not even their own architect
now knows how to unmake them.
I pray the Lord
gives you grace and the wisdom
To discover a method
by which you might escape
Yourself...
