Placing You First
I placed you first,
Even though you knew not.
For it was better done than said;
That it was truly from my heart.
And so I gave them up
I gave it all up for good
Left my mind heated from thoughts
As I lain every night to sleep
Thoughts so deep, I could not understand;
Whether I was going mad,
When I took that spit for you,
Or it was just love,
That I had for you.
My granny would not forgive me
For I left his funeral so early
To get you that ice cream
Else you would scream
Wishing to wake up and say,
"What a dream!"
NO! not a dream, it's a nightmare.
One that i cannot bear to share.
I pray you leave me now
My heart you wrecked
Lies in ruins
To think that place you had, but how.
I placed you first
Not because I knew you first
I placed you first
Because you were the best
And now I rest my words
For I now weep
Good-bye my sweet
Or may I say, my CURSE!
