The Trick Bag
M.E. Martin



I fell for it, again, I put my heart in your hands once more
And for the second time you took it and you played with it
How can I trust anyone else when I trusted you, you who said he would take
Care of my heart like you promised but like every word you speak this was a lie

So here I am stupified as I see you go along your merry way
With someone else someone whom I thought would be me
And I curse myself for taking that chance one more time
For allowing you even a single chance to hurt me again

What is wrong with me that I can still love someone
Who loves me only sometimes only wants me sometimes
When he can’t find anyone who wants him then
He comes running to back to me because he knows I love him

So what is wrong with me that I can still loves someone
Who can’t or won’t love me they way I need to be loved
This is the first time I have asked this question
Now I guess the answer is up to me

I will love me the way I want to be loved
I will stop asking for what is impossible for you to give
I will realize that loving me starts with me and ends with me
I will stop taking that phone call I will stop waiting for that phone call

I can’t live in the trick bag forever, I have step out and look
Around but mostly look at mtself and ask why I keep letting you in
I will find the answers inside me, inside my soul I will find me
So please know, there will be no more tears raining from my heart

I will let you go and I wish you the very best
I will pray that you find someone you can love to your fullest
I will send you back to her and pray you find peace
I will love you always but I will love me more

Peace…..
