Give

by Mels - Leo

Spent my whole life wanting to give, now all I do is take. 
So angry I had to wait so long, I hurt the one that gives to me.
He gives, and I take take take.
He tries, but I won’t break.
Well why should I? 
He knew who I was when he wanted me, now all he wishes for is change.

Sure I want him to stay but I won’t beg. My mother never brought me up that way.
If he gives then you get, that’s the rule of the game.
Why should I lose out? It’s my turn to win now.
I watched the girls hand pick the guys. 
I watched the guys laugh and smirk at the thought of me.

Now someone wants me as much as I want him. 
I’ll give him all the love in the world but I won’t take the shit.
If he wants money, he can get off his arse and earn.
If he wants a gourmet meal he can get a damn cook book and learn. 

Can’t think of I time I’ve ever been happier. 
Can’t think of a smile that could save me from the darkest cloud. 
Can’t stand the thought of living without him.
Can’t breathe when I think that one day I may lose my He.

But I won’t give my pride. 

Reason for writing:

    love but want more.
