All Because I Love You
In the shadows, I stand so small,
Your laughter lifts me, I can't help but fall,
Weak in your presence, I give you my all.
With every whisper, my heart starts to race,
A fragile warrior, lost in your grace
For you, I'd conquer the world's toughest place.
When tears grace your cheeks, I feel the weight,
Each drop pulls me deeper, sealing my fate,
In your eyes, I find both my joy and my ache.
I'm tangled in feelings I cannot control,
Your smile is the light that brightens my soul,
All of my strength, it's you who makes me whole.
So here I stand, bare, with nothing to hide,
A man stripped of armor, with you by my side,
All because I love you, my heart's open wide.
But I slowly begin to lose my mind,
Because my love and feelings are not reciprocated
I slowly become a shadow of myself,
Knowing I don't stand a chance I still pray and hope,
In my patience, it dawned on me
She chose another over me despite all the love I've shown her.
"Love is not always enough." These words she left me with when she left my arms into another's arms,
I wish I wasn't capable of love.
