WHERE DID I GO WRONG

SB_InK 1996 (Monrovia)



The choices we make
The trust we break
The emotions we shared, the promises that are not always kept
All proves that we are just human
I'm sitting broken and untidy, asking where did I go wrong?
Were my feelings too strong; that it overshadowed my inner being?
Where do I start from?
Is it another broken record?
A huge part of me is so connected to you
Those first kisses, open up a part of me that has been closed for so long
Now when you leave, it's all a start over for me
I may not have been the all perfect, but in my heart I have been ready to perfect my imperfections
I know I couldn't do it alone, that's why I asked for your hand, to stand and prove that not every male is the same man
Again, where did I go wrong?
I can't bear you being a total stranger in a life I chose to give you
I know a part of you want me too
So why are we doing this?
Ok, I take it all on me
Maybe I should be saying sorry, maybe I should be kneeling forever; if that's the punishment for what I do not know I did
But through it all; I want you know that it was the last love I had, that I let go over to you
I'm left with none
Please keep it; because it is genuine
