All I Have

romance

It's not much...
But it's all I have

Baby I'm handing you
every ounce of my love
Yet you're looking around
expecting a whole lot more to come

You've suffered hard with men
And here I am
showing you the gentle touch of friend

You shy away
You won't even shake my hand

In this Black and Grey world
I thought your Pale disposition
Would’ve been happy
to receive more that a glimpse of Red

What I offer

You claim to crave
Yet appear to unbelievably fear
when you're presented the longing color

It's not much...
But it's all I have

Tell me
How much glistening gold
How many sparkling diamonds has a man shown

Only to later turn around
and walk away with the treasure
they promised you'd forever own

Waking up from sullied sheets
Following that I'm in love dream
Sadly to see you're not his prized piece
Just apart of his collection

So you grow old
So you grow a little bit cold
Declaring you'll freeze 'til you
encounter the warmth of a good man's soul

Well here I am

Truth is you're completely blind
when in the presence
of your hearts greatest desire

All you see is another man, another liar

All my honesty for you

The entire world
Everything to make you the happiest girl
Lies rested in a my open palm

But you seek something huge, extravagant and unrealistic

You're just another woman
incapable of realizing that love begins as a seed calm

Too bad

A chance to plant, water and grow together if you would just grab

It wasn’t much...
But it was all I had
