For You

You’re in my mind from the moment I wake

Your smile, your laugh, your presence, your touch,

Every minute of every day I feel you

In my heart, on my skin, in my very being… so much.

Why do you love me? Then not love me?

Am I just so easy to play?

My heart is full of love for you, my soul is kind

I don’t understand how you behave this way?

You sought me out, you made a move

I didn’t care too much back then

After all you weren’t free to be mine

I never thought that love would happen.

A game of bat and ball?  I am that ball

Back and forth, back and forth

Showing truly how cruel you are

And to you…what I am worth.

Nothing… a deviation from your mediocre life?

How good an actor you are?

And how foolish was I to believe you?

Why did I let it go this far?

You took my heart and ripped it out

Not once, not twice…but time and again

The man I thought I loved doesn’t exist

Or so I thought.. or think…but then

I see you and the feelings rush back

My head screams walk away

But my heart wins every time

And I live to be hurt another day.
