I thought to think you had betrayed me
To think that you cut me deeper
Than a razor ever could.
On days when you ignored me,
Neglected me and shut me out.
I thought to think that you hated me
To think that you had no more love to give
Me after so many years too much
During times when you put that wall up,
Locking me tightly on the other side.

I realize now, that you were scared.
You thought that I would cry
You thought that you needed to hide, this side of you
I already knew existed.
Instead of keeping me close to you
You made me believe that I was lost
In a sea of doubt and worry
You left me there to drown.

Now that the truth is here,
I accept her with open arms.
She can sit here in your heart with me
And we can form a bond of trust
I want you to have faith in me
In our love and my devotion

I am not leaving you this time
And I haven't left you before
You are my heart and soul,
My life and my passion.

Much like this pen and paper,
I find you to be the obsession I can't leave
I can't put down.
In my mind you roll over and over
Like the words that spring images
Every second of the day.

Much like the thoughts that I have
No matter where you are.
I will accept her, in your heart,
Give you space you need to grow,
And in the end I am yours

That's all I need to know.
