I Have An Answer Poem by Prince ....

I found an answer
Turns out it was a lie
You looked at me
But you failed to see
The tears in my eyes
I cried so long
For this to be ok
But it was all in vain
Because in the end you went away

And I would have stayed with you
Kissed you all the time
Held you closer than ever
To let the world know you are mine
But not to be protective
Not to claim you as my own
Just to show you that I love you
But you left me all alone

And now I spend my days
Picturing your face
And your lips that I’ll never kiss again
Wondering who has took my place
Which unsuspecting fool
Have you lured in this time
Still despite all your tactless ways
I still wish that you were mine

And I wish I had a spine
An ounce of self- respect
Just a trace of dignity
Then maybe I could forget
All those precious memories
And move on from you
Instead of being stuck in the past
Feeling lonely and blue
