To the Many Men Before you

To the many men who came before you

Men have hurt me more times

Than I can count

I have been tattered and torn like

I've been to war

Yet I haven't seen the world

They would tear me down never to repair the damage they have done

One by one they've come

Some said love some said nothing at all

I can't remember a time when I hadn't been left all alone Wondering what I had done

Before long they were gone

Each and every one took some pieces of me

And some left scars

Until there was only a shell with just about

Nothing left

I hadn't quite realized what they had done

Sleek Sharp and Sly

Silly me to never consider I was the one

Who dreamed they would come and fill my heart with Joy

Until I would say no more

If only even a day before

I may have even wanted much more

Left alone feeling ragged and worn

Must we go around and around any more

Here take all you must 8 haven't got the guts to say I love you any more

Take what you will say one day you'll be still

I cant take it anymore

My lies with Faith I'm blessed to have Hope

That maybe just maybe my heart can beat once more

Be gentle and kind

If I were to awake in your arms just please make sure I never look behind

Where the dark sorrows fly and

Always stay right by my side

To the Many Men before you I am thankful for what they have taken you may never see but what they left with me

Was a light so bright that even you the brightest star was able to see me

With a twinkle in my eye I scream my good byes

I will always remember the hurt but I will never miss the best part

What they took you have over flowed

Imagine what I could have done had I known

You would be my reward

Funny how things can work out

When you step out of the Dark

LOVE-A
