Foreign Love

Foreign Love

May 15, 2016

By Shaire Blythe

I wanted to stay and save you

I knew all you had been through

Thought I wouldn't notice

When it became clear you'd erased all I'd went through 

I was second 

You weren't changing

Say I should've told you what you were doing was stupid

Never been one to call you out of your name,

But eventually I did

Cause you made me hate you

Turned my heart to stone

With all my sacrifices

You sat on the throne

You just want that power back

Still, you can do no wrong

Keep that foreign love

Years without an honest apology

The blueprint for my karma

Because of you, I know exactly when to take my leave

Keep the memories that haunt you, but ask me, they don't mean a thing 

When my heart speaks and I have no control, I'm down for real

I recognize the true feeling on my end

My fault for starting for the wrong reason 

Your fault for the lies and manipulation 

You still carry them with you, trying to break through 

No longer blind to your true colors 

Never thought I would abandon you

But once I'm done, I'm done

Only surrounding myself with truth

Let someone else save you

Guess I wasn't made to
