Champ

Temper tantrum thrown
When will you grow up?
You should be ashamed of yourself

Look at decisions you have made
You lack clarity
I weep because you are a lost soul

I watch you spiral down
You're trapped inside defeat
I can help, but there's not much that I can do

I can show you of the light
but you must follow of free will
or forever you'll be trapped in the dark

you're masking of your pain
a fake smile do you wear
but I can see the truth inside your eyes

so now you're acting out
just for attention, so it seems
sometimes I wish to just give you a hug

I keep my distance still
for you don't understand of love
accept only what you think you deserve

I gave to you something so warm
A love so unconditional
I was too good to you, so you ran away

Projecting onto me
The treatment received from in your past
I refused to be your punching bag

Now I'm watching as you fall
The real you hiding behind a wall
Forever will you hide behind a mask

My dragon has been slain
You need only do the same
And remember that the past is in the past

Do not bring your baggage forth
Unless you're willing to explore
That the issues caused are coming from yourself

So I'll just let you be
This definition you call free
But don't expect for me to stick around

I love you, yes I do
But of love, you have no clue
Perhaps one day you'll figure these things out

So I said to you goodbye
You've no respect, why bother try
My heart, I must shut down and walk away

Perhaps in another life
Ring on finger, made as wife
But you're still trapped by insecurities

So I bid to you, good day
In high hopes you find your way
No time for drama, not my cup of tea

How dare you drag me in
Phenomenal, a champion
I've gone my rounds and I suggest you do the same

I'm throwing caution to the wind
Moving on yet once again
Forever I, upon an open road

The lesson here for me?
Mind, body, spirit, I am free
I hope one day you learn this for yourself

At one time I did love you
Even though you put me through
A living hell that I did not deserve

So right now I'm calling quits
You're so fake and full of s**t
Reality is something you simply can't grasp

I pray one day you'll find
Someone like me, someone who's kind
And not make the same mistakes again

Anger is not a way
To make a person stay
Never manipulate the heart or mind

Poor decisions do you choose
Never to win, always to lose
Except of good and please stop pushing it away

Your looks, with age, will fade
And the price that you have paid
Cannot reverse of such an ugly heart

I'll say a prayer for you
Maybe one day, he'll get through
Allow for Him to bless you everyday

Self-destructive is the path
Inside of misery, you laugh
Not realizing that you're masking of your pain

You think you're happy? sure...
Look deep inside, simply explore
The soul is dying, you're an empty shell

Attention is what you crave
Affirmation, you want praise
You're inviting all of the wrong people in

They are the type to never stay
When done with you, they'll throw away
Everything you are, like you're a piece of trash

As for you, I have concern
But the lesson - you must learn
I have shown you, but it hasn't sunken in

Please don't ask me to stay
This is the end, I walk away
I cleanse myself of negativity

And as I walk my path alone
Forever searching of a home
I pray true guidance surely comes your way

Farewell to you, whom I first met
But of your change, I will forget
You can only break a heart so many times

To use another for your gain
Will only cause both parties pain
No tears shed, but there is crying from within

At one time, together, we both whole
Found each other, two lost souls
And now, sadly, only memories remain...
