This Is What I Get


I was so busy working on you that I forgot about me.
I was so busy working on you that I forgot to make sure everything met my needs.
I was so busy working on you that I forgot to enjoy the moments that quickly slipped away..
I was so busy working on you that I lost myself, but still felt it was necessary to build you up all the while you were tearing me down..
I was so busy working on you that I forgot I deserve love too..
I've picked you up at your lowest, bearing a load that I knew would eventually break me down... not knowing I'd have nobody around to scrape me off the ground..
This is what I get for working on you, neglecting myself, and overlooking how I really felt..
So much for the Man being the Alpha, in this situation I gave all the care. I was the strength that kept him in the air...
This is what I get for working on you...
