The Misconception of Love

Love is more than a four letter word

Something to be felt, given, and heard

I loved so deep I forgot about me

Others happy about my success asking for the tea

Sitting back thinking, but what about me

He left and there's no air to breathe

So much for a blessin

God was this supposed to be a lesson 

I look back and reminisce 

Too bad she got to feel your kiss

Love is not hate but I hated you for your behavior

The only one there for me was my savior

I can't ask you to be something your parents couldn't create

Little naive me to think I could change your fate

You may turn into a man one day

But I can't stay for a "may"

Hopefully you grow into a man 

Because even though I'm hurt, I know you can

I pray for your success and happiness

Because neither of us deserves less

I'm sorry I couldn't understand how broken we were

Maybe if I wasn't so caught up in my own blur

If I loved myself enough we would have parted ways sooner

I never wanted to be the ruiner
