EVERY TIME

Every time you choose to not fight for me 

It’s a loss for not only you, but for both of us 

Each loss as equally painful as the past one 

A blunt reminder that I am as replaceable as I was once before 

But I look the other way, trying to avoid this unmerciful reality 

A reality that I live in 

A reality where I stubbornly try to find someone’s love where it matches mine 

Where I profess my love to you as if it is our last day on this Earth 

Where I give you my all, even when I have nothing left

And where I apologize for my feelings 

Even though inside, I’m begging for your understanding 

It’s a painful reality to accept

But I sleep in peace 

Knowing that whom ever comes into my world

Will experience a love that’s deeper than the ocean itself
