But Not You

   I was willing to sacrifice myself
With love and passion and vow to be true
I was all in with no lies or alibis
But not you

I told myself a thousand times
That I shouldn’t
But against all odds I did
But you couldn’t

You asked me to take a leap of faith
With hesitation I did it
Then for whatever reasons
You didn’t

Love for me is like Russian roulette
I took the gun and I held it tight
I pulled the trigger for you but
You killed it and said it wasn’t right

I poured out my heart and soul, my fear
My hopes and dreams in a pile of spew
I let myself be vulnerable
But Not You
