What I Gave, You Tossed Away

What I Gave, You Tossed Away

So many years spent in such adoring love of you
 lifelong dreams of a happy future, we two
Months, years dedicated to advancing your life
 my faithful love making you my precious wife

Shielding you from truth, insults and shame
 all while you played your vicious cheating game
Many sad heartaches cutting into my loving bones
 while you pleasured in your many cheating thrones

Laughter and ridicule for staying so very true
 wicked jabs for not giving you your just due
Scorn by friends that thought me a raving fool
 a punk for acting like and being your tool

So many nights spent doing whatever you please
 I working so hard to give you a life of ease
Sacrificing to lift you up as a great mate
 only to find out it had always been too late

O', what I gave , to keep in place my sweet love
my integrity, love and pride for you to dispose of.....
