Torn Tapestries

I wish that you
Had the guts to
Tell me we're through before you found
Someone to replace me with and I
Cried myself to sleep for weeks

Haunted by pictures of her
In your arms in
Public places, happy faces
Making subtle hints of love when I
Thought I was your only love

How naïve of me
Thought you needed me
You kept saying no
How was I to know, hey

You weakened my resolve
My confidence dissolved
My heart was woven through with you
Now my defense is evolved

Now my faith in love is brittle
You made me feel I'm weak and little
Made me feel I'm not enough for you
Showed me why I ran from love am I too ugly
Needy, am I not sexy
Too skinny, pretty, you made me doubt me
Was I not supposed to speak my truth
Was my truth too dark for you

How naïve of me
Thought you needed me
You kept saying no
How was I to know

You weakened my resolve
My confidence dissolved
My heart was woven through with you
Now my defense is evolved

You deny your love for the younger
Beauty who seems much easier than
Me so love her don't deceive her like me

You deny your love for the younger
Beauty who seems much easier than
Me so love her don't deceive her like me

You weakened my resolve
My confidence dissolved
My heart was woven through with you
Now my defense is evolved

You weakened my resolve
My confidence dissolved
Oh, my heart was woven through with you
Now my defense is evolved

Eish
