You once said...

By: Naomi Jo-sue McCoy

You once told me that forever we'd be,
but come to find out you lied to me.
You say that you love me,
but you have a guilty look on your face every time you say it.
You say that you would do anything for me,
but you can hardly seem to choose...
between life, or me,
because all you ever want to do is fight all the time with someone
and you will be sent away for good
and who else will I have to take care of me, if not you...
so here I sit pleading with you, don't give up on me,
'cause I have not given up on you.
