Chivalry’s Grave

She’s not used to the things that I do

Accustom to the familiar feeling of falling in love…

 Then being used…The same thing she expected me to do

I'm confused...

She takes a complement as an insult

Sincerity and sentiment gets a negative result

And when she is in a bad mood, it’s automatically my fault

I’m torn…Between a woman scorn…and walking out of the door

She says she wants more…But I don’t think she’s ready

Stuck in the past…We are not going to last

Unless she unloads this luggage she carries

Seems like our future together has already been buried

Preventing me permission to love her

Because of the pain provided by another

But I realize it’s not me…

Even if I change the way I behave…

She’ll still be standing over an empty grave

No hope of being saved

 

Mourning love…in her own head

Blind- not seeing the bigger picture

That if Chivalry is Dead

She’s the one that pulled the trigger

Ahh I know this girl. I once was her. I had a very patience man once who took me by the hand and little by little rebuilt my self-esteem until I understood that I was beautiful and worth more than being walked on. Sometimes there seems to be no hope but simply breath. You might just be doing more than it appears on the surface. Love the thoughts and emotions poured into this piece.

Wow, this is a very powerful piece. Many of us have been in a relationship like this lol I see that you're a songwriter. I'm the same. If you ever get the time, feel free to read some of the poems I've posted on here. Many of them were originally written as songs. Once again, loved this piece and thank you for sharing it. Keep up the good work ^^
