*Separate Ways*

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner...

As I lay here next to you

2 AM crying myself to sleep

You don't move

do you even hear me weep

I try hard to be the best

It goes unnoticed

Feeling unloved

unappreciated

Sick as it sounds

I'm used to it

So why do I still cry

I yearn so desperately

to be put on a pedestal

Appreciated for my strengths and soul

I crave the beauty of being loved for my passion and creativity

everything that makes me whole

I have jumped into the ocean of hope and 3rd chances

only to have you hold

my head under water

Finally I come up for air

Dazed but no longer confused

I contemplate

should I have stopped the pattern sooner before it was to late

I should have

But I didn't

can't go back

So this is where we are at

There you go

here I stay

Without a partner....

Im better off this way
