Brittle

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed..

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you love someone, but it goes to waste"

These lyrics are so true, they aren't my taste

You give so much and receive so little

You start to break down and now you're brittle

You realize that person is noncommittal

It hits you between the eyes

"Why can't I solve this riddle?"

Sadly you have to come to the realization that they don't care

It's getting to the point that you can hardly bear

Bear to look like a fool again

It's got to stop, can I get an amen?

Your heart has taken so very much

Dealing with all this nonsense and such

They're just going to hurt you and stab you in the back

It's a vicious cycle, yet you ask, "What do I lack?"

You have everything to give yet they take you for granted

They don't see where your heart's planted

It was planted in theirs, but they neglected to show

That you two could make it work and eventually grow

But now you have grown apart

Due to their carelessness and doubt

It's time to move forward you will begin to find

Find the one that will be your guide

Together you will guide each other to paradise

And you won't feel you are just rolling the dice

True love may not be at love's first sight

But your true love will be willing to fight

Fight to see you both happy

With a future so bright.
