All I Wanted

All I wanted was for you to care
But life is rarely fair
I wanted you to share with me
The love you give her freely
I wanted you to fix the hole in my heart
The heart that you didn't mind ripping apart
I took a chance with you
Hoping you'd give me one too
I wanted to be whole and complete
For my heart not to hurt with every beat
I wanted to have a real family
LIke the ones you see
On TV, in fairy tales
Now listen as my heart wails
For the dream, the chance I never had
The one I'll never get, a look so sad
I continue on, broken and bleeding inside
Deeply embedded is the knife that I hide
The blade of words you have said
Will never leave me, but will haunt me til I am dead.
