The Scope
From the moment I opened my eyes to see you I loved you
They said if I really loved you I would let you go
So I did...
They also said that if it was true love you would return to me
Therefore I waited...
Inspired by Romeo and Juliet I waited
For you so we could run away together
Aspiring to always be with you
You ran away - you flew, you soared
I waited and waited
You came back; that was a glorious day - a day full of love
Yet you did not come alone...
I wanted so much to help you
I knew... I saw the fear in your eyes
No one believed me; they thought I was acting out of jealousy.
I saw all the signs
The bruises, the excess makeup, all the flinching, and all the anger in his eyes
Just because I loved you and it hurt to see you go, does not mean I would mess with fate
You don't love him; I assume you don't love me anymore either
Yet I wanted to be your superhero; Your superman; Your savior; Your saving grace from this low life of a man
Dear God help us both
It pains me so much to know you go through this pain
Courageous are you to have pushed through
I know the woman I fell in love with came through on your final days
I'm sorry no one was there for you
Sincerely yours forever...
