Love for me
#Loveforme
Growing up as a child
No words of love were spoken out loud
So I thought, no love for me
No shopping sprees not even for my personal needs
No love for me
No hugging days
but I can recall, when hands were raised
No love for me
No discussion of the bird or the bees, but my heart had a desperate need
Older men wld look at my innocence face
but it was only the throb in their pants that ached
As I grew older
I continued to cry on wolves shoulders
No love for me
I had a few relationships, but it lead me back to the same script, no love for me
Looking at my black-eye and bruises
This had me thinking, my life I could lose it
In pain I knew, no love for me
I accepted a man with a double life, he wanted fools, but not a wife.
Once again no love for me
When I think of the times I broke down and cried, God was there and never left my side
The Lord brought me through many storms protecting me from different forms.
The thoughts of no love for me
Is no longer, because God’s love has made me stronger
No more, no love for me
My Heavenly Father has set those thoughts free
