She loved him.
He loved her.

So why did it end?

Because love and compatibility are not the same thing.

A chasm of silent cries
My life has been one wild ride
Where violent skies
painted the lows from my high.

I've felt ugly in more ways
Than I've ever been told
I've sat out on cold days
Because nothing was ever warm.

The illusory orbs above me
They taunt their tales
Of how I am born ugly
And I chant 'words don't matter'.

I guess I am a hypocrite
Because I've taught of bright lights
Yet stared into the abyss
unable to visualise a single spectrum.

Do not get me wrong
I am not built of sticks and straws
I've hummed the hymns of unknown songs
And so I float on.

I have loved and lost
I've seen scorched flames
being coated by frost
Yet I am still new to love.

You always want to know how my day has gone
You try to make me laugh when I'm down
You tell me how you want to be with me all day long

You ask me how I am every single day
You say you love all of my imperfections
Nothing else screams "I love you" more than your subtle ways

And I really appreciate all that you do for me
But the sad truth is
As hard as I've tried, I just can't love you as much as you love me

I wish I could say 'I love you' just once more
But the time for truth and phrases has passed,
I've been feeling broken , bruised, blue and sore
Hoping that I'll get the chance once again.

Carry the sunrise on my shoulders
And the weight of it will vanish
But it's been so many hours, it's still not over
And I've left my mind to rot.

Maybe it's true
That someone won't cross the sea for me
Walk through fire for me
Or fight for me...

But that's okay, cause I have myself
And I'm the only person that I ever really need
