"I Loved A Stranger"

Choosing to disregard a persons expressed wishes spoken

Is not considered miscommunication...

Its disrespectful

Making this the most dangerous moment known to the heart

When it says, “Enough is enough...”

Love has changed its definition

Whether the eyes were closed before

Or now that they actually see...

The vision that holds me still

Is the stranger before me

Now asking too much of my understanding

I have reached the end of my comprehension

In every way possible

Compassion...

Time...

Space...

And energy...

You now take more from me than I am willing to give

Step into my shoes

Stand in my place

Walk the line of life you are making me

Would you get as far as I did?

Can you see just how strong I've had to be?

Because one of the worst things you can do to another human being

Is to know the struggles they have been through

And put them through it all over again...

You do not get to destroy someone...

And then decide how ruined they are allowed to feel

Valid reasons used as poor excuses

Are what they are...

Cheap shots thrown in the dark by the blind eye

Now pass through the hollow apologies laid

All like band aids...

None of which fix bullet holes.
