Savior

I've been around the block

Seen it all fall apart

Women getting clocked

Along with a broken heart



The sparkles in their eyes

Slowly fades in the night

How hard they try

How hard they fight



My support has kept them afloat

My friendship their guide

But when I open my heart

I will be denied



I've seen them at their worst

I've seen them at their best

I've watched them move on

They walk out

On the violence nest



Black eyes and busted lips

Broken bones and scars from hits

A broken soul inside

But in me, do they confide



My support was given

My love spread around

To mend their broken hearts

To lift them off the ground



I've seen love blossom

I've watched it disintegrate

I've watched it walk out

Only to come back around again



Everyone I know had their hearts fixed

Their smiles and cheer bring me bliss

To see the light in their eyes

Watching them get their wish



When it comes to my own

I yearn to be in love

I've been denied so many times

When do I get my dove?



Why is it that people I've met

Get their wish to be in love

But when it comes to my heart

There's no love to speak of



I will never again know how it feels

To have someone by my side

But as this comes to no surprise

In love, I'm forever denied
