You made a Vow

Come on team lets talk about it

for some reason you think this is a game

you think between me and the almighty

that we supposed to be boo boo the fool

People step to the plate an fall short

fall short because its not what they thought

its not the life they imagined

and fail to realize and do the work

but remember you said I do

fell into a selfish you

broke the trust between you two

and now you're looking to point blame

You never weighed the value or the cost

you only weighed your tainted heart

and forgot to remember the start

why would you just not sit and pray

Pray for understanding and patience

pray for peace in your down moments

pray for love to bring it all back home

The guess is that you took a step you weren't ready for

But those promises you made in front of family and friends

where are they now, why does that fall to the wayside

You choose to blot out the light

and take on the dark side of life

You have sincerely destroyed a potential great life

Turned a good man into a hard one

and in doing so disrespected the nature of his being

Which was to love you unconditionally with all flaws attached

The grass as they say is not always greener

because that side is what it was supposed to be

a temptation to satisfy temporarily

and once the adrenaline wears off you now stand alone

Did you fight and how many rounds did you go

because in the battle of vows I don't hear no bell

there are no timeouts for a reprieve

there is only the work you need to put in.

Stand on business and not your tears

how does it feel to have no one to share things with

to be alone in your own misdeeds

to another person made for the streets
