Till You Get It

Till You Get It

No passive aggressive,

Or giving that cold shoulder

I use the past tense

That’s where I’ll let you stay

No call for action

I just stuck to praying

For me to grow stronger

For me to be better

Saving my dignity

I can’t get caught up

Stopped counting the days,

When you walked away

Something did change

I held my head up

Tears fade away

Like memories together

Did you grow stronger

Not the way you would’ve thought of

Did you become better 

Stopped resting with your pride

Did your tongue stop spilling lies

After all this time

Can you treat loves like loves

Stop pretending for self pleasure

Sorry not sorry that you didn’t want me

I took the burns like hellfire to the flames

Once I get placed right where you left me

I say you will have to battle to get your way

All bets on you right at beginning

Guess losing till you get it is what you’ll have to face
