My heart has been buried alive
not once or twice but more than I care to admit
Back then I impetuously accused you for all things that went wrong
As you watched me bleed because you would not commit
One after another my pattern unclear
Is something offensively wrong with me
Yet I needed to draw you near
For a lifetime now I owned the words
accepted all the shame
Lies, deceit and opposition
Pick your poison as it manifests it’s how we play the game
Which one is sicker in the end who stands tall
I stay to the death committed and strong
Or perhaps it’s defeat as I begin to fall
A martyr once was the role I wore best
Till one day victory won over
Putting me to the test
How far can she bend till she breaks inside
Twisted like an old oak
But more like a palm tree holding its pride
Brush it off this current layer of sludge
Never mind what they’ve all told you
Only bitterness holds a grudge
Your spirit is within a bright and mighty soul
They never mean to harm and scathe
it’s just who they are
It’s up to you to relinquish all the illusion of control
I am more than enough this lady worth having solely
You will never convince me otherwise
Because I will always love you wholly
I’m reminded who I am each time the sun sets low
A wonderful package full and complete
A display of wonders to be lifted up never held below
A treasured one to behold, loved, honored and cherished
It’s not your fault you couldn’t see my value for all its worth
So hold your head low and watch as we parish
It came to this as it typically does the inferno shoots the flame
I have it all… heart, body, mind and soul
There is only you to blame
Sleep well my little time bomb…
