Catch 22

 

You ever heard of a catch 22

Try loving someone who doesn’t love you

Try being punished for all your sins

By the only man you loved enough to let in

Constantly wondering if his love is true

Just the thought of losing him breaks your heart in 2

You’ve lied, connived and took men for a ride

Now karma says it’s your turn to swallow your pride

Anti-up cause it’s your turn to pay the piper

Now you are the boy that cried wolf

Professing your love through this cipher

No one believes you can truly love

Except for you and the man above

You tell him that your love is real

but he doesn’t want to hear it

He keeps his heart so guarded

You can’t get near it

But that doesn’t stop your soul

 from longing for his touch

just an ounce of his trust

would mean so much

why fight for a love that doesn’t love you?

because if you fight hard enough

he will have to face the truth

Why can’t he see that his pain is

Your pain too

And there is no one walking the earth

That loves him more than

You do!

 

Some people write with the intent to entertain

I write in an effort to stay sane
