You obviously don’t know what you want
But you like to go places with me
You say you hold me down
But really you’re just playing with me
You know I like you
So you’re just taking advantage of me
I’ll have to cut you off
And you wouldn’t waste a second thought on me

It hits different doesn’t it?
When you say you love me,
And I don’t say it back.
I gave you my love,
And you threw it right back.

You’ll never get me back.

Found this one while reading through a whole bunch of old stuff and thought I might as well post it. I didn’t have a title for it then and still don’t have a title for it now but enjoy.
I don’t think she believes in me
She questions my pursuit of forever after happily
Almost daily like I don’t say it seriously
There’s no way she believes in me
I tell her I’ll always be there for her
She replies by pushing me away increasingly
I don’t think she believes in me
I just wanted to make dreams come true
Create a world I had never seen as a child
And I wanted it all to be done with you
But you never believed in me….

When it’s all said and done it really sucks and I’ve become a prisoner to my mind once again. This will be my last post for awhile even though I haven’t been posting that often anyway. This one goes out to my number 1.
She got me up all night
Cause what we had
Was destined to be a beautiful life
But I had to go and get selfish
Words I should’ve said
Instead turned my back and kept them
She packed her plate full with dreams
While I scraped my plate clean
What a world she lives in
Is what I think
While I admire from afar
Wishing her only joy
And still being selfish
Hoping she doesn’t remove me from her heart….

We haven’t talked in a while
I mean we “talk” daily
But it hasn’t been real in a while
I wanted a life with you
Now it’s all make believe now
I don’t make you happy anymore
And there’s nothing worth fighting for
I find myself not caring anymore
And it’s sad but I don’t even think
To tell you I love you anymore….

Can I get the whole thing back
Cause you said it all
When you didn’t want to compromise
On something we both felt strongly about
Cause material never held weight
But when you speak that’s the only thing that equates
Can I get the whole thing back
Cause if being too stubborn is your excuse
Then give me everything back
Cause my heart I won’t let you abuse
Since toward something great you don’t want to work
Give me back everything so I can avoid the hurt
Cause I’m tired of working on this relationship
Alone I am breaking my back for me and you
It makes it even harder cause I am in love with you
But if you got your mind made up
Then I guess it’s time to just give up
So can I get the whole thing back….

Is this not what you want
A gentleman only wanting to be your gentle man
Not paying mind to all these other women
Only wanting to make your life better
Spit, kick, and look down on you never
Sticking with you through the good and bad weather
Never making a promise that I wouldn’t make true
Not being afraid to confess my love for you
Always willing to stand in the middle to meet you
Be your biggest fan with all eyes watching and cheer for you
No hesitation to tell these women I belong to you
I chase my dreams but place yours on a pedestal
Is this not what you want
A man with morals
That can put aside his pride when need be
Tell you how he feels and how much he needs thee
Or would you rather me play games
Look down on you and call you names
Throw up a wall that will never come down
Be defensive everytime my feelings you come around
Never admit a thing to you
Promise my heart but never give a thing to you
So tell me what you want
So my mind can be at peace
And I can tell you what I am able to do
And it’ll be your choice to leave
So tell me Is this not what you want….

I fell in love with a fantasy
A fairy tale of you and me
Because the first time I met you
You came to me in a dream
I sat across from you
And you leaned in to kiss me
It was just another dream
Until I saw your unforgettable face
In real-time sitting across from me
And at that moment I knew
That my dream would come true
Held back all my excitement
And played it cool
Once we were alone together
Each other we began to feel
Your feelings showed early
Somehow I just knew it was real
Now sometimes I dream of you leaving
And wondering when that will be real
I’m still blaming myself
Because I fell in love with a fantasy
A fairy tale of you and me
A really good dream….

I wish you’d tell me something
We barely talk anymore
Sitting silent over the phone
I know something is wrong
We lost our connection
I try to include you in my day
Without bringing in the stresses of work
I inquire on what vexes you
You tell me nothing
But everything you don’t say
Lets me know that you’re hurt
I feel like I don’t know you anymore
And maybe I’m the reason
For some of those bridges burned
Maybe I’ve pushed too hard
For you to let me in
Maybe I’m the reason
For your hurt feelings
Maybe I’m not what you need
Maybe its better if I just
Pick my heart up and leave….
