Not My Choice

Don't think for a moment
That you did the right thing
Don't you dare
I would have loved you more
Than anyone ever has or will
But you pushed me away
You chose for both of us
None of this was my choice
You see
The only thing I ever wanted
Was to be
Your lover, your friend
Simply your everything
As you became everything for me
But that's not what you wanted
So you took away the dream
You tossed it aside
You blamed its demise on me
I was never good enough
I was too much for you to handle
These things are not my fault
And yet
You make me suffer still
You punish me
By taking away what I long for
By throwing this gift back in my face
My passion knows no boundaries
For you and because of you
My heart is shattered ~ a million pieces again
And now I must collect them and move on
This is not what should have been
This is not what I wanted
But you chose it anyway, for both of us
