Never thought I'd find myself still bound in these chains
Bound down by loneliness
No love from my past that truly held me
Every single one walked away without so much
as a glance back my way
How my heart has greatly loved
but not one ever said my dear how I love you
All these years I have endured without so much
as a loving embrace, a hand carefully brushing my hair aside
a light kiss on my neck telling me with his lips his desire for me
Time and time again I allowed my heart to venture out
Slowly through time making myself vulnerable
Only to come to the end of the road broken left all alone
Watching him walk away as though I never was
I gave my all, put myself out there, held my breath
Let him know that I was open to forever
I would be there till the end of time and all he had to do was say the word
Then he would hold the key to my undying loyalty
But the only thing coming from his lips was sorry
He couldn't even look me in the eyes
Nonchalantly, he said goodbye
Leaving me once again chained down without ever being loved
How many times I've cried out loud
Is it me, what must it be, why am I for so long been so unloved
When all I ever wanted in this life escapes me
As the moments pass me by
My scarred heart takes one more blow
Even though I swore this would be the last time
I know I have said that too many times to count but how many more
times must I endure this pain before there is nothing left but an echo of my soul
I feel my chance at forever is slipping me by
I'm watching this slow motion train wreck helpless to stop
the destruction unfolding in front of me
Battered and bruised here I am once again I am mending back together my heart
What will be left of these ruins and broken pieces
Can it ever be put back together so that it could be given to another...
(To start this process all over again)
