Bittersweet End

by Rolo   May 6, 2008


The worry of silence crept its way through
I looked in your eyes to know what to do
I kissed you so softly, your head turn away
This was the beginning of our final day

You spoke with a shake, though without a doubt
My words were plenty, but nothing came out
Each line provoked numbness, I only felt used
The void was growing; my heart, abused

Promises shattered as you said we were done
Of everything I offered, you wanted none
I wasn't right for you; I could not compete
Confusion sang through your tone of deceit

I loved you with a passion; I gave my all to you
Seemingly so sudden, but deep down I always knew
I trusted you with something hidden in my mind
The secrets of my heart, course and unrefined

You know I never hurt you like you insisted
I showed you that before me, love had not existed
With every effort wasted, my tears fell alone
Heartache is the lesson that your love has shown

Sometimes I forgive, other times I can't subdue
Then I start to wonder why I've never hated you
There was too much to replace, even with the pain
You'll always be that something I could not obtain

I thank you for the memories and all of my dreams
For tearing me to pieces as I ripped at the seams
I no longer miss you, for the damage has been done
I only wish you realized I could've been the one.

End.
