Changes

[ironbear]

It was all a lie
"I'll never leave you" were the words spoken
You have left me
My spirit is almost broken

The love was not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough
To weather the storms that have passed
I guess they are right, forever nothing ever lasts

I made mistakes large and small
Brought from baggage I wish not to recall
The love not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough

But its not good enough to try and change
My head is so much different now
The love not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough

The lack of respect that I am afforded
Leaves my heart and soul forever contorted
The love not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough

You wish to portray me as a monster
Full of hatred and abuse
Embellishing events to add to your excuse
The love not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough

I guess I really thought you still loved me as you once had claimed
What a fool I have been, for this I am ashaimed
I let you tear me down by the way that you have treated me
That was then I say to you, your hatred will not defeat me

Your perception of our life together will certainly differ from mine
Your love love now nonexistent, your hatred well defined
I know what I have done, and what I have neglected
But I guess you giving up on us is not what I expected

You claim to be a warrior from lives that long since passed
But for us you do not wish to fight, your intentions are well cast
The love not strong enough
The commitment not deep enough
