Love Owes Me


Love owes me For the time spent, time wasted, and its sanctity Love owes me Love is supposed to be patient, love is supposed to be kind Love wouldn’t wait for me, love left me behind Love owes me For believing in it, dreaming about it, begging and pleading for it Love owes me Love broke my heart and tore me up inside Love never had my back, didn’t even want to try Love owes me Love never asked me if I wanted to leave, I wanted to stay. Love never wanted me to cleave Love owes me For all the nights I cried myself to sleep For all the wounds that cut so deep For all the hope I had And how much I wanted love so bad Love owes me… You want to know the funny thing? Love doesn’t owe me anything There is something else in me that I lack But one day, one sweet day, Love will love me back.
