In the depths of my heart, I question why,
Love's a struggle, I can't help but cry.
His wandering eyes, a painful scheme,
"I'm not ready for love," his familiar theme.

My heart aches, deep, a sorrowful sound,
Longing for peace, on fragile ground.
Wishing to end this pain's cruel spin,
But in my heart, it's labeled a sin.

Why am I weak, drawn to his lies?
Falling for him, my spirit defies.
Is it my fault, in trusting his vow?
Or not valuing myself, I wonder now.

My chest aches, to ears, my pain flows,
With each broken promise, the hurt grows.
How much longer can I endure the strife?
It's time to love me, embrace my life.
