Hello Poetry, I wrote you a Song instead.

Sometimes I get a little hard to handle, and I cry so much

I bet you think it’s a game,

but when it comes down to the truth,

this fairytale I’ve held onto, it’s always me and you

and I still feel the love you give me,

every day.

 

So why’d I make you beg me to stay,

Why’d I make you tell me all the things

I never even say-

why’d I make you come undone, like we’d had our run,

As if everything you mean to me could fade…

whyd I make you beg me to stay..

 

Love I can’t tell you how it hurt to hear

my own words sink in, cut so clear.

Couldn’t see I was losing me

inside my fears.

I doubted myself and every promise I’d hear, because I knew deep down

that hurt you so bad,

and I couldn’t imagine you ever wanting me back.

But you didn’t push away,

you only begged me to stay.

 

Now the entire world can watch as

I treat you like gold,

‘cause I’m keeping you always,

you’re my love to hold.

Because I need your arms, your tender touch,

that voice just for me, saying I love you so much.

It went unearned, but you held me anyway.

and I still feel your love,

every day.

Baby, thanks for begging me to stay.
