The Essence Of Who I Am

I have studied the surfaces without a choice

I have seen the pain start and end the same sad way

How they love to hate 

And hate To love

I have seen the ashes settle and people move on

 I have seen love regrow and pain dig deeper inside

So when I say I have learned nothing don’t laugh

Don’t say I’m a young innocent child scared of love

Because my god I am

I am terrified of it thanks to you

I watch it like a child afraid it might hurt me if i touch it

But having studied you I don’t see a second chance

I don’t see the love that equals the word

I don’t see the commitment

I don’t see any of that

How dare you tell me that I don’t know what love is

When I watched yours die

I do know what love is thanks to you

I know exactly what it’s not

M.A.P
