Why Dream
Why dream of happiness when you make it seem like it's lost.
At what cost should I say I have someone special when you treat me like an option. Tonight I wanted to fight to tell you exactly how I felt.
But then you went low and hit me below the belt.
You said you only wanted me because what I had.
You can never withstand me because I always was mad.
It's sad to say that why should I dream when you want to be single and no longer a team.
I am tired of your self-esteem one day you're low the next day you're high.
One day you're juicy the next day you're dry why try to make things better when all you do is make me cry.
Why lie why dream when all you make it do is seem like you're in it for the fame.
I came today to tell you that I'm done.
I refuse to let you keep running me in the ground.
I finally found who I was looking for and that was me.
I wanted to tell you exactly what I held inside yet I walked away with her happy stride.
Your pride is too weak your speech is like a leech searching for something it cannot have.
Just in case you wanted to know!
You can hate me, you can love me but now baby I'm going to show you exactly how it's done.
I am what you call priority so I've already won.
So as you sit back and watch me walk away.
But please keep that same attitude and energy because you cannot make me stay. You say I must trust you but actually l need something, someone loyal to look forward to.
I refuse to pay for someone else's mistakes.
When I've given you everything you wanted desire, and I thought you deserved.
Yet all you've ever given me was blank space.
Why dream for something when betrayal was your real and you remained a fake. You took more than you could ever give.
What kind of life do you expect to live? Why do you keep on wanting to steal other people's dignity and hearts?
Why couldn't you have kept it real from the very start?
I'm done with you, I'm done with your shenanigans, and your prideful demands..
The way you decided to take my love for granted was selfish.
I will walk away straight and never slanted again just until you desire to get it together.
You are tainted and I want no part.
I refuse to settle and backwash the emptiness you've disbursed.
So, you ask why dream?
It's because all my dreams are now my reality and they will come true.
But baby listen it's one thing for certain and two thing for sure the funny thing is it just won't be with you...© MpcYEMpc
