Father of Mine

DECISIONS
Made, changed, analyzed
Who are you to decide
The future of which I've realized
May not be worth the ride.

LOVE
Debated, given, taken
And it is me you have forsaken
But I'm afraid you have mistaken
Me needing you when my future will call and is awakened.

TIME
Wasted, consumed, spent
When your shoulder wasn't lent
For me to cry on or repent
None for your love to be sent.

MONEY
Inherited, lost, invested
When it was my love tested
Because of time in me not invested
Thinking you could buy my love instead.

LIES
Weaved, lived, told
I guess the truth was always old
Thinking you could put me in a mold
And my love from a distance you could hold.

YOU
Child, fool, liar
Thought you wouldn't be burned by my fire
But when it comes to you, I tire
Of trying to gain your love by being everything you admire, desire, and require.
