Prisoner
I was afraid to lose you,
couldn't stand on my own.
I gave you my everything.
Without you I had nothing.
Then I came to realize,
We're in charge of our own lives.
Couldn't bare to watch you drown.
So I swam to the surface myself.
I haven't learned from past scars.
My heart is still locked up behind bars.
Thought I'd be seeing you through plate-glass,
But I saw my own reflection instead.
Honestly,
I didn't like who I was seeing,
I was living through you and not myself.
Every ounce of my energy,
went towards your well-being.
Wanted to be your Prince-Charming.
Thought if I showed you mass affection,
I'd get just as much back from you in return.
Yet you still called me the selfish one.
Yes,
I must admit,
when things don't work out I do quit.
Prayed one day you would get it.
All I ever wanted was your love.
No,
I'm no longer waiting in line.
You'll never be totally mine.
Being called upon by everyone.
For me you don't have the time.
In life things are never clear.
Nothing is ever set in stone.
True love doesn't last forever.
Yes my dear soulmates do die.
I'm learning to face my fears.
No longer want to be a prisoner.
Don't want to buy into the idea,
That your supposed to be in love.
