ON YOUR OWN

*

ON YOUR OWN

I wish you could have seen my side

I was open and had nothing to hide

Your world was full of deceit and mistrust

And you tarred me with the same brush

So often I told you I am like no one else

And yet you assumed everyone thought just like yourself

There was nothing I could do

To appease or convince you

You chose to walk through life with a closed down mind

And those blinkered thoughts rendered you blind

To the deceit and lies that engulfed you and surrounded

Their lies you chose to believe I was astounded

I was supposed to be the one you loved

Clearly not, my word was not enough

I'll bet you're still all alone

For until you change your mind set, you'll be on your own
