Introspect

by LaVerne Prade



Oh, so you say you don't love me anymore
You can't touch me anymore
You don't need me anymore

Should I cry or commit suicide?
Should I ball up and just die?
What do you want me to do?
Chase after you

Oh, so you say you love another
Need more, something I can't give
Well I guess the more I live I've come to realize that God didn't put me on
this great earth just to please you
See you have been angry for quite sometime now and not at peace with
yourself
Please don't put the pressure on me, to fulfill the void that has been there
for years
Please don't put the pressure on me, to be everything that you need
Please don't put the pressure, to make you whole

'Cause you see, I am still growing, and learning and needing and wanting and
striving
So whose gonna help me? Whose gonna save me? Whose gonna protect me?

Oh so you want me to save you from yourself, from the emotional state you
are in?
Nurture you like a babe, protect you from the evil in the world

If I do that do you promise to stay with me, be with me, love me and nurture
me when I need it?

Oh I don't think so, you will take my love and run just like all of the
others
Not know how to receive me, and reciprocate all that I have given you

Oh, so you say you don't love me anymore
You can't touch me anymore
You don't need me anymore

Well guess what?  I am learning how to love myself and give me what I need
and one day when you are worthy
I will let you participate in this love process

Until then
Search
Discover
You
and meet me at the place called introspect
