Half A Man

Thought that I’d truly found someone
Thought that the cause was unconditional
I thought that the games we played we had gone
With all of our consciousness
Woke up last night
In a sweat with fear
For I dreamt she’d returned
With everyone for me
But now I condone
That love for me
Was only trickery
She’s left me half a man
A broken man
A twisted man
If a man, is what I am
And so I return
To what I feared
You live life alone
With occasional compliments
Beware that with every heart of gold
It retains it’s currency
So if you believe
Loves cost is free
Then you’d call me a fool
To call it robbery
But I only know
That I once was whole
And now there’s
Half of me
She’s left me half a man
A broken man
A twisted man
If a man, is what I am
And she’s left me sleepless nights
Of wrongs, no rights
Only blacks, no whites
Only half a man
No, it can’t be over
Tell me it’s not over
It can’t be over
She’s left me sleepless night
Of wrongs, no rights
You see I’m a broken man
I’m a twisted man
