No Love Lost

 

Didn't dawn on me until almost dawn
Quite surprising how I remained calm
The love of my life shows no love for me
Only when we are alone do I feel like his Queen

I've seen him protect loved ones and children
I've seen him 10 toes down for homies in the wilderness
I've witnessed reactions of detest over less
But when I am offended, I am left to fend for myself.

He said it was because when it comes to me violence is all he knows.
Yet, I've witnessed him actually come to blows...
Over something he could have easily let go.

Not certain how to respond, My heart so cold it's bone chilling.
But I spoke my truth, "The way you love me hurts my feelings."
Sometimes you let go because you still have feelings.
But this time I choose me because my spirit needs healing.
And who else going to save me cause all the times you left me hanging stay looping in my mind like a movie continuously reeling...

So, am I worthless? Hell nah, I could never think less of myself.
The moment I was conceived the world was blessed.
Heart of gold, speak the truth from my chest. 
A phenomenal woman, the kind that is kept.

And while I wanted you to be the one to keep me
I can't shake that you act like you want to be set free.
