It never meant as much to you As it always will to me. I stand and watch you walk away Tail between your legs. Too weak to fight for us, Too small to set it straight. I thought you were a better man The kind to measure all others. Now I know you have no more courage than the love you have for me. It hurts to know you are aware I expected more I got far less. You came up short, Left me Disappointed, The word the started it all.

Coming Up Short
It never meant as much to you As it always will to me. I stand and watch you walk away Tail between your legs. Too weak to fight for us, Too small to set it straight. I thought you were a better man The kind to measure all others. Now I know you have no more courage than the love you have for me. It hurts to know you are aware I expected more I got far less. You came up short, Left me Disappointed, The word the started it all.
This poem was written during a confusing time for me during 2009.
