Relinquishment

If you had given me just one chance
to prove to you my words were real,
you would have seen so easily
the truth roll down my cheeks.

If you had given me just one chance
instead of completely letting me go,
you wouldn't be riddled with loneliness
that is tearing you apart at the seams.

If you had given me just one chance
to remind you of who and what I am,
you would have let your heart compare
my love against his lying eyes.

If you had given me just one chance
you wouldn't have let us crash and burn,
just to salvage whatever it was
that you thought you had with him!
