I Listen to you


You spoke ,

I listen, 

You cried , 

I held you , 

Didn’t have nobody , 

I was there , 

Everybody walk away , 

I stayed , 

Everybody snake you , 

I stay solid , 

You lie ,

I lie , 

You blame ,

I cry , 

You hit me , 

I fall begging you to stop , 

You apologize, 

Just to do it all over again, 

I forgave you over & over , 

I believe you was my man forever , 

I believe in you , 

I held you down , 

I was by your side , 

I showed you real loyalty , 

I gave you my all , 

You begged & begged , 

You begged me why ,

You asked for my heart why , 

You asked for honesty, 

You asked for loyalty, 

You told me if I was going to be your girlfriend I had to be all in , 

You told me I had to be honest , 

You told me I had to be loyal ,

You told me to stop playing mind games with you , 

You told me not to play with  your heart , 

I listen to your begs , 

I heard your cries ,

I listen to them ,

I seen you going out your way , 

I heard you when you said you wouldn’t do nothing to loose me , 

I heard you when you said you wasn’t going to hurt me , 

I heard you when you said you wasn’t going to break my heart , 

I heard you when you said I was never going nowhere , 

See I listen to you , 

I listen to you when you angry, 

I listen to you when you where sad , 

I listen to you when your heart used to cry out for me , 

I listen to you when you told me I can trust in your word I can trust in your actions you will never switch up , 

I listen to the stories you made up about me , 

I listen to how you disrespect me , 

I listen to how you talk to me , 

I pay attention to your actions, 

I pay attention to your surroundings , 

I pay attention to how you act when certain people enter the room , 

I didn’t miss nothing , 

I choose you over and over again , 

I listen to you so much I lost me , 

I listen to you so much I wanted you to have it all, 

I listen to you so much I really went out my way to make sure I don’t treat you like the rest , 

I listen to you so much I was willing to move you & your family in with me ,

I listen to you,

I loved you more than you will ever amount to know ,

I listen to you , 

I wish I would have listen to me because listening to you I still lost you , 

I listen to you,
