Nothing Left

by Brianna - Aquarius

You’ve hurt me so many times before
It makes it so hard to believe 
That as much as I pray	
This time you won’t leave 

After that night I was convinced
Like you said you would, you would call
That this time it was for real
I was no where near right, not at all

It’s almost been a week 
And there’s still no word
Honestly I kind of figured
Though I hoped this time it would’ve been different 

Now I’m right back where I started 
Wondering yet again
Will you be back 
Or am I just playing pretend 

At night I cry
Wearing your shirt
And wondering why
I didn’t see it coming, and am still so hurt
	
I knew this might happen
But I took my chance 
I guess I am just a sucker
For love’s romance

I know not exactly what love is
Though you’re the closest I’ve come
I will forever love you
You’re the first I’ve ever known

It’s so hard to think 
I’ have to give you away
Though if I didn’t 
It’d be harder for me if you stayed

From what I know
With you, I’m in love 
The things you do
Lift me up above

I cry at night at the thought of losing you
But deep down I know, you I’ve already lost
I wish I could give it one more try
And one more after that 

But the elastic has been stretched,
and is just about to break,
I've got nothing left to give,
So you'll have nothing left to take.

Reason for writing:

    This is about a guy I know who I have never actually "gone out with" but we do have a "history. I have known him for a year and think I might be falling in love with him while at the same time I am getting tired of his head games. I am coming to the point where I am going to make myself move on, but I can only do that if he's not in my life anymore....
