To have and to hold
But where are you
when I’m drowning in sorrows?
To have and to hold
Only the days we’re in paradise
Hold me when I’m close
Break me when you’re far
Have me for my body
Leave me when you’re through
To love and to cherish
But loving you is a losing game
Always draining, always fading
Cherish me when you want
Neglect me when I need
Lie to me and tell me you love me
Cut me deep and leave me scars
Say you’re sorry, then repeat
All for everything, all for nothing
To honor and to respect
Yet you taint me
when you get what you’re begging for
Say, “I’ll always respect you”
But did you mean
“only when you obey”?
Call me names, shame my body
Honor me when I’m the jewel
Defile me when I’m finally yours
Respect me when you’re lusting
Disgrace me when you’re bored
No happy ending, no fairytale
Just an end of who I used to know
No frosting, no cake
I’ve been exiled from your world
Just bitter, no sweet
Tell me how to keep going
when the sky is crumbling down upon me?
Tell me how to let go
when my world has always been you?
