Someone to Love...

So many times my heart has been broken,
So many times my emotions have been shaken,
Because I was quick to love,
Because I was quick to see every girl in my life, as an angel sent me from above,
I was always the first to say, "I love you",
I was always the first to say, "I'll be there for you",
But time and again, they've all turned out to be the same,
They've all turned out to bear the same name-
Opportunist, infidel, heart-breaker, and heartless,
They all did what they wanted, never cared for me, their behaviors so mindless,
So, right now I am sick and tired of this thing called love,
My soul is saturated with true feelings, and my heart is overflowing with love,
But I am more careful to release my heart, so I am searching and looking for Someone to Love,
I'm looking for someone to love me for me, someone who I can truly say, is sent from above,

Yes, Someone to Love me,
Someone to be there for me,
Someone to tell me our love is meant to be,
Someone who would be there when the riches are abundant,
And someone who remains when the wealth becomes absent,
Someone to call me "honey" when I have the money,
And someone who will still call me "honey", when I don't have the money,
Yes, someone to be the light in my seasons of darkness,
And someone to be my happiness in my days of sadness,
Of a truth, my soul is saturated with true feelings, and my heart is overflowing with love,

So, I'm searching and looking for Someone to Love,
I am looking around my neighborhood, combing through the woods, searching across the oceans, and flying across the globe, in search of my true, true, really true love,
And I pray I find her.

ALL I ASKED...

Never knew loving you would be a mistake,
Never knew your love was a wrong pill to take,
For ever since I fell in love with you, and made my intentions known, it's being all pain,
Ever since you came into my life it's been all pain, without gain,
It feels like loving you was a crime,
A crime for which I'm now doing time,
In the jail of tears, sorrows, and heartbreak,
Baby, I thought you were the real deal, but now it's clear you were just fake,

All I asked was for you to love me the way I loved you,
All I asked was for you to reciprocate the true care I showed you,
I wasn't asking you to die for me,
If I did, I am sure you wouldn't agree,
Girl, like Bruno Mars said, I was willing to catch a grenade for you,
I was ready to take a bullet for you,
I was even prepared to die for you,
Because I really loved you,
Because I was willing to give it all up, just to be with you,
And all I asked in return, was just a little caring,
Just a little loving,
Just a little feeling,
Nothing colossal, nothing out of this world, just a little love,

Is that too much to ask from someone you love?
Is that too much to ask from some you care for?
Baby, tell me if that is too much to ask,
If only you had told me from the onset,
If only you had informed me from the start,
I seriously wouldn't have spent my money buying you gifts,
Taking you to the movies, buying you pearls, diamonds, and giving you lifts,
Really, you should have told me,
That this love was not meant to be,
For I made it clear from the start, I didn't want to be just a friend,
But also a lover, who would be by you till the end,
But you betrayed me, and on the same night you accepted my proposal,
I found you in another man's arms, but you were in denial,
Worst still, that other man was my best friend- baby how could you have been so heartless,
And when I confronted you about it, you denied, telling me, "it's not what you think"-that's just senseless,
But after all is said and done, I just can't help it; I still love you, and would still take you back, if you would repent, turn around, and this pretense cease,
For all I asked, all I'm asking, and all I'll continue to ask is that you be true to yourself, and be real with me, baby do this for me, please.
