My Own Downfall

My Own Downfall

I was the architect to my own demise.
I hid behind the truth with counter-fit lies.
It's been a year since I let you go.
But You haven't left me alone.

You are in my mind and heart.
That is why we could never be apart.
Leaving you will always be my biggest regret.
Memories of you I cannot forget.

We went to a party and I asked you to dance.
But I wasn't asking for a second chance.
I wanted to remember what happiness was like.
After you left my soul took a hike.

It will be hard to live through these days.
The distance between us has grown two ways.
Now you live so far away from me.
So there isn't a good chance for us to be.

Long ago, I broke her heart.
She was hit by my poison dart.
Slowly the pain was easing away.
Now it is gone, this very day.

She hung on to that cliff for long.
Before I could save her she was gone.
I stuck my hand out, she wasn't there.
She has waited for me, over a year.

It was my fault for not taking her back.
So it's fair I deserved her last attack.
I will look and wish to the stars above.
To give me back my one true love.

Because she deserves better.
I wrote this as a freestyle poem.
But it flowed into a structured one*
