Prayer will change things.


Colorblind to the rainbow of love
I stand firm on the scaffold of hurt
What does it really feel like to be heartless or cold?
I wouldn’t know, I mean I care just a tad bit too much
It eventually feels like inevitable déjà-vu
The past repeats itself and I say “I’m stupid, so stupid” because it happened to me once again
And I was too blind to see
But I was too blind to see
But was the stupid one really me?
Or was it he?
He who played the game oh so well?
All those lies, from the truth I couldn’t tell
I was so weak from love I couldn’t prevail
All of my strength locked away in a cell
I was strangled by my own foolishness, choking from the hold he had upon me
Dying from the inconsistency he provided
That wall I built could no longer hide it
I lost my identity for another being
That wouldn’t lose a dime for me
Bought him a watch and he still didn’t have time for me
But here I am, on this scaffold of humiliation
This relationship tortured my salvation
And yet, I thought this situation was my creation
I’m elated
Colorblind to the rainbow of love
I stand firm on this scaffold of hurt
A living testimony.

I have been through a lot with relationships and this is what really inspired me to write this piece. I hope that people really see that love is always perfect and it isn't always complicated.
