Watching all these words return

It kills me that I wasted them

On someone that would never get

What it was I tried to give

Not part of my proudest moments

Thinking I could help her see

Those eyes will never open wide

Enough to see the beauty there

Trying to unlock a door

When the owner holds the key

But refuses to turn the lock

Is nothing but a foolish game

I should know better than to play

She can have her little world

I’ll hold out for something more

And save these words for someone else
