I used to think you'd change
And everyone was wrong
I saw something in you
I knew you'd come along
You'd only done it once
And said, never again
I was too in love with you
To see the truth within
And now I wear your lack of change
Like a burden I can't bear.
Our memories are written on me
To show the love you share.
So show me once again, my dear
What I really mean to you
I'm not blinded to it anymore
But now what can I do?
You love me when you want to
And need me if you please
Stand me up to break me
Back down onto my knees
And I used to call this love
Their words I would contend
Now I fight the man
I was trying to defend
This ring around my finger
Feels just like a noose
I can't pull off commitment.
No, it won't come loose.
So I'm strangled by it
I'm dead, but still alive
Breathing, but lifeless
Inside I have no drive.
Leave me here to wallow
In the scars of my mistakes
It won't be long until
You push me 'til I break.
Do you like the concept and delivery of this piece?

Yes! It flows beautifully, and painfully. I don't know what to say other than that, but it's a great write. Well done!

To answer your question, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
I could break it down stanza by stanza, but it would do no good. Everything is just the way it should be. I looove it. It's so true with everything going on in my life right now. Not to me, but to my best friends. And it's sooo hard. But it's so good to see it written down here.
I truly appreciate this piece and I'm glad I had the chance to read it.
Deserves so much more than 3 applause.
