Cast aside by many I am.
Never wavering; however, accepting all.
Still, hold onto them dearly just in case they fall.
They're blind to my needs; however, inhale my life.
It fixes their muse and turns on their light.
Still, I whisper it's ok.
Giving, giving, giving myself away.
The darkness in their eyes dies.
The pain inside me beats, so cover it in lies.
Be kind, sacrifice, and show them like no other.
The sad truth of me becoming an unloved lover...
