A Misplaced Love

True and Common

I wouldn't have left had you urged me to stay,
I wouldn't have walked away had you assured me of your love.
All I ever wanted was to be close to you,
I was willing to give my all up for you...
Even my life I would have layed down if only you had asked,
But no you didn't,
I wanted you
But no you didn't,
I loved you
But no you cared less,
I made you my world
But no you sent me crashing down to hell
Without a care in the world.
I feel the hurt deep down inside of me,
Like a piercing through my heart,
It slices down to the very bosom of my soul,
.....Oh how it hurts
My feelings I gave you,
My love I gave you,
My joy I gave you,
My time I made yours
The only thing I asked of you was a little of your love,
 Only a fraction of your heart,
A tiny piece of you to own in exchange for all of me,
But no you didn't,
It was too much for you to give.
I was willing to love you in return till my last breath
Because my love for you held the promise of eternity,
My love for you became my Obsession, my Passion. . . my Purgatory
My Hell on Earth.

What a Waste of Love. A Misplaced Love.
