Got To Give It Up Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

Change can no longer convince myself that someday you will
I grow disappointed and find myself unattracted to you as before
What's the use continuing this game of sharades
Satisfaction left out the door along with your adornment
Uncomplete and unfurfilled must I go on with the pain
Something's missing here still I set myself up for failure
Almost like I'm addicted to whatever,
apart of me know we can't be together
Why ignore the truth? When I know what I must do
Is it for fear that I may not find anyone who is interested
I'd grown attached to you that I lost my own identity
Forgetting who I was before you've existed
Change, I can set myself apart from you if only I could
I hold myself back allowing you to take full advantage with force
What's the reason for this foolishness?
Love passed away along with your dead soul
Cold and Lifeless must you continue to with the damages
What I'm risking here.. I put it all on the line
Figuring now...I have to give it up
