I could pour my poor heart out

and bleed all over these pages

but I don’t think words will move you

back in my direction

So much I want to say

that I’m sure falls on deaf ears

I’m just not at all what you’re looking for

and there’s nothing I can do

So much potential connection

severed by anxious ignorance

thrown away in happenstance

and here I am still panicking

I can’t catch my breath at all

or gather wits about me

too lost in mourning the sacrifice

of everything I ever wanted

Should’ve seen this coming

(I’m pretty sure I did)

as I pick myself up off this floor

just to watch you walk away

I knew you were the stronger one

You never really needed me

but God do I need you right now

But needing doesn’t make it so

and what’s in it for you?

I guess all that’s left for me

is to find a way to let it go

I can’t bear to see the end
