In My Name

I remember the day I gave my all
I offered my friendship
And you took it all
More than what was given
More than I expected

I thought things would be even
I thought you would be fair
But the more I gave
the less you were there

I remember days
Those now long past
Where I accepted the lies
And pretended not to grasp

But then I woke up
And the truth started to fly
I took back what was mine
Then hurled the rest to the sky

But I could not forgive
Because I could not forget
I decided to take away from you
What I could never get

I held my head tall
And thrust my hands out
I took what I deserved
knowing it would be the only apology I got
