Knowing My Worth

40 4 1
                                    

You can keep on coming back
But don't expect me
To keep on waiting for you
And wanting you too

To keep watering
A dying plant
To keep loving
A hardening heart

To keep on opening
My bruised, closed heart
To a man
Who's not worthy of my love

So forgive me
When I say
I deserve better
Than you.
