    I Surrender

     I'm tired of all
    these games you play
    one day you love me
    the next you don't

    You play with my heart
    and tear apart
    no wonder I don't know
    where to start

    You say you want me
    you tell me I'm the best
    love you have ever had
    then you cheat on me once again

    So I say to you
    I surrender
    for I don't know
    what else to do

    Life has become
    all about you
    my hopes and dreams
    mean nothing to you

    Has this just become
    a game to you
    what more do you
    expect me to do

    I live from day to day
    wih a broken heart
    never knowing
    where to start

    So I say to you
    I surrender
    for I don't know
    what else to do

    You would think that
    after all these years
    there would be more laughter
    and much fewer tears

    I don't know how
    or when it all went wrong
    I just know for now
    we don't get along

    So I say to you
    I surrender
    for I don't know
    what else to do

    I have given
    my whole life to you
    because I thought
    you loved me to

    Each time I look
    into your eyes
    it shatters my heart
    and I begin to cry

    I wish I knew
    just what to do
    to make our love
    as good as knew

    For now this will
    have to do
    forever my heart
    does belong to you

    So I say to you
    what more can I do
    I surrender
    all my love to you

    It seems that infidelity is becoming common nowadays. Such good examples: Tiger Woods/wife and Jesse James and Sandy Bullock. So next time be careful, you're old enough see? This piece is nicely crafted based on true feelings.

    "Good as knew'? I say never surrender to failure, and don't think you can change him. Imagination or truth, it's a sick love. But I'm no niner.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
