Never

I ****** up in the past,

I ruined what we had.

Yet here I tried again,

Perhaps I am just Mad.

 

I thought that it would work,

I expected something new,

I tried so very hard,

Fueled by thoughts of you.

 

I know you have your faults,

And things you think are flaws.

Yet you're beautiful to me,

But I can't do it anymore, because...

 

You lie when it's convenient,

Your guilt trips hurt, you see.

You sit and watch as I try,

yet the only one trying is me.

 

I put my hand out to you,

Begged you not to walk away,

Yet you made up your mine, left.

Not caring what I had to say.

 

I said things out of anger,

Some things I do regret.

Let things get out of hand.

Perhaps unfixable, but yet...

 

You're still beautiful to me.

Even if you're gone for good.

As hard as I tried to make you smile,

Maybe I just never really understood.

 

I'm not the man you need,

Nor the one you wanted.

Maybe I'm just not good enough,

such thoughts, I'm constantly haunted.

 

And now I don't know how to fix it.

I don't even know if I can.

Most likely I've already lost you

To a much better man.

 

I don't know what to do now.

And I don't know how to do it.

I thought it was going so well.

Now happiness turns to ****

 

Disappointment and Pain,

knowing now you're gone forever.

I thought we could pull through it,

but now you've become my Never.
