Until you loved me
life was just a game
I was never to blame
the way I saw it, you could never be unsafe
The way I saw it, the world was a playground
And I was a kid

Until you loved me
I was innocent
I knew what I wanted
I knew how to get it
The way I saw it you would never love me
The way I saw it, you kept me safe
But it turns out safe just isn't enough

Until you loved me
I loved the game
I wanted it so I fell for it
The way I saw it, you had no other options
The way I saw it, you were just a game to play
I was the champion, I had won

Until you loved me
I thought I knew myself
Now that potential is on the high shelf
The way I saw it, I didn't deserve you
The way I saw it, I should stay
I ended up walking away

Until you loved me
I had no regrets
Nothing to lose
Turns out I did
That something was you

I’m sorry I had to lie to you

                   Every time I said “I’m fine”

me

but instead
you loved
the person
i pretend to be

Mother hen-
Lead the way
Tell me when-
And where to stay.

I need a guide-
Through my life
A place to hide-
No more strife

Mother hen-
I'm sorry I lied
Fault of men-
I just can't cry.
Well heck. This is one of only a few poems that got me  to feel a lot of emotions.

When I’m gone go on.
When I’m gone stay strong
I’m where I belong
So my friends and family
I say so long

Don’t cry for me
Don’t say I wish I would’ve ?
Don’t pretend to be hurt
I was alive
Not one word

I am gone
I’ve gone home
I’m sorry I left you alone
My life was lonely
When I’m gone
Don’t cry for me

When I’m gone play my song.
When you see the things you’ve missed
You could’ve took a second my friend
Don’t say oh he  was a good guy
You had your opportunity
So when I’m gone
Dry your eye
You had the opportunity and you don’t get to cry
It’s a lonely life. People take for granted their loved ones..

If I asked you
To prove yourself



Would you?
Not that I’d ever ask cuz I’m scared I know the answer.
