Love and Hurt

A Song

He gave me a song

Simple, it was

And it wasn't long

But the words were so strong

He was trying, trying to say

Be as we may, I think I still feel this way

And this caused me to sway

Because he let me go

I don't know

I don't know what to feel

Maybe he is trying to steal what once he has sought

Maybe he should have fought, isn't that what we have been taught?

But maybe he did the right

And learned not by sight, not how to fight

Not to get what he yearned

But to wait for that with which I was concerned

But I feel there may have been a switch

Something went off and woke him up

He threw off the tough

And knew what he felt

Tightened that belt

And saved me from my sinking

Do I, do I love him

Or am I over thinking

Is it enough

This simple song

That was so strong

And now, the things for which I long, the things I think I have almost found

Seem to have brought me to the ground
