Purple Scribbles

And I tried my best
But I still get nothing
To make you believe
To give you esteem
Confidence, Support, Encouragement
And my feedback?
Nothing.1

You could do it you know?
You just had to believe in yourself
And you even had me by your side
Cheering you on
Knowing you could do it
Why couldn't you? 2

My sir it's called Perseverance
My dear your searching for will
Honey its the courage to go on
And when you were almost there
You lost it all3

I used to think you were nothing (you know)
Your future was dark
There was nothing you could do
But I decided to brush my thoughts away
Maybe- just maybe you were something more
And maybe you just needed somebody to help you
Find your cause
So I jumped in
Offered assistance
And now I see myself thinking
That maybe I was right from the start4

What do you see me as?
Was I just a puppet of your sympathy?
Someone to feel sorry for you
But cheer you back on?5

Your missing something
Something that everybody needs
And as much as I tell you
You don't believe me.6

My sir its called perseverance
My dear your searching for will
Honey its the courage to go on
And when you were almost there
You lost it all7

And I don't know what else I can say
You were just oh so close
And you gave it all up
You lost it all.
My dear, you lost it all.
