I am a strong woman, I know who I am and like myself,
except when I am with you, then I detest myself.
You are the only person I will allow to treat me this way,
to talk to me in that tone, to look at me with those eyes.
Loving you is my curse in life.
I love you, so I give you my all, my time, my attention,
my cooking, my money, my home, my ears and eyes, all yours.
I watch as you kiss another, listen as you make love, and
I cry with you, for you, when they break your heart, aye.
Loving you is my curse in life.
I go with you on hunts for your soul mate, searching,
for the one who will light you up, the way you do me.
Longing for your happiness, at the expense of my own,
for when you find them, you won't have need of my time.
Loving you is my curse in life.
The angels in heaven are crying, I cheated,
I drove your love away, and you believed me,
when I lied, about them, about me, never did,
you think I'd forsake you, no not I.
Loving you is my curse in life.
Because all along you have known, exacxtly,
the depth and breadth of feeling, for you,
that's why you have treated me the way you have,
and all this time I thought that I'd disguised,
That loving you is my curse in life.

Wow, I really liked it, the repeated line made it all the more emotional, and I loved the last stanza especially. Good work. And the idea of the pixel prince came to me after something my best friend(online) said to me about me being a princess, which made him my prince, so yeah =]

This is very beautiful, and So full of pain. I hate the feeling of loving somebody who doesnt realize what they have. Somebody who is willing to go through personal pain all for the ability to love you. Great job.

Thank you very much for your comment, why do we always love people who do not return the feeling more than we love those who adore us? I sometimes think that the ability to love someone so much should be impossible! But then I realise that if we didn't have this capacity to love we would be cold.
