Don’t Make Me Choose

By: LuvMiFreely

(Hour 10)

You said if I cared

I would come back and work it out

And if I really loved you

I wouldn’t have turned away

Where was this energy when I was begging you to change?

Tears falling from my eyes, soaking my face

Praying every night for clarity

I held on

Even when you didn’t want to be held

I tried to stay

But you kept pushing me away

The space between became unbearable 

My mind heading in one direction

While my heart’s chasing yours in another

I let you shatter me

Every lie adding another crack

And you were fine adding to the pain

Just as long as I didn’t completely break

You left me empty

A feeling you promised I would never feel

Playing games was a part of your charm

You manipulated me long enough

The energy I allowed you to drain from me

I call back to me

Every bit of love given

You can keep it

But I no longer will be wasting it on you

So you said I should work it out

But I chose to walk out

This isn’t who love is supposed to be 

I deserve better than being played like a fool

So don’t make me choose

Because I will always choose myself
