I deserve
by Sarah Lyn Hensarling

The roads I follow will always lead me back to you.
You were my everything, 
The only future I had planned out and imprinted in my mind.
...You took that all away from me 
The day you decided I wasn't good enough.

When you told me that I wasn't the only one your heart belonged to,
I was done.
I was done being sad day after day, 
Wondering where you were or what you were doing.
I was done waiting around, faithfully.

My love for you will always remain, 
But my will to keep it going has died.
I'm tired of hurting.
Despite all the love I have for you 
And everything I've done for you... I've given you up.

I gave you up because I know in my heart 
I deserve to be the only one.
I deserve to receive the love I give, 
And that's something...
You'll never be able to provide.

Why do you beg me to stay, 
When you were the one who threw it all away?
I'm walking away from this with a crack in my heart, 
But my pride and dignity in tact.
I am strong, and you have done nothing but make me stronger.
