Pity Thoughts
The disappointments of being in love
At first, I was trying to save you.
Then I tried to save us both.
But then, reality sank in, and I realized we had to be willing to save ourselves.

It would be such a heartbreak
To learn you wouldn’t even save yourself to better love me.
As a woman, am I more man than you?
That I can do all things that strengthen me.
Yet, you continue to stay within that weakened state of mind.
Oh, honey such a pity.
We can be something more
We can be together as one.
But, it's ok.
Just love yourself a little more today.
