My father has always been an enigmatic figure
When parents divorce moms typically take the kids
Not my father he took care of all his boys
Coached and went to all of our games
Taught us to work and the value of a dollar
Made sure we went to school
Kept us away from gangs
Like any man he had his flaws
My father rarely displayed any emotions
He hugged me three times at most I can remember
Never told his boys that he loves them
My father is a modern Casanova
Treated woman with disdain

Nice car
A million friends
The trendiest clothes

We went our separate ways
Now I am left all alone in my empty house

Until she came into my life turning my world upside down
My moral fortitude within a matter of weeks was broken just to get closer to her
I shunned others only caring about holding her hand
All respect for others I put on the wayside
I have forgotten what was right and did unspeakable...

You told me that you loved me
That I was the one and only one for you
You said the love we had for one another was divine
And that our love would stand the test of time!
Now I sit here broken hearted yearning for your love
But did you ever really love me?
This is not the first time I have heard the word love thrown around
What is the true meaning of love?
Is it the feeling of pure joy and bliss with the one we supposedly love?
Because if you really loved me you would care for me as well
When you care for someone you worry about their feelings and...
