Cold-hearted, discarded

unwanted, unloved

it doesn't matter what I do

it's never good enough



I'm left again without the one

I just can't live without

I wanted so much to believe

but still, I had my doubts



I cauterized the wound

but I can't seem to stop the pain

it's eating at my insides now

it's driving me insane



all my faith I put in you

I viewed you as my savior

there's nothing that I wouldn't do

to try and win your favor



although the distance seemed too vast

you felt like coming home

but it don't really matter now

forever I'm alone
Despite the state lines I really, truly thought that we could be together someday, but now it seems that day will never come. I seen a very bright future for the both of us, but now it seems there never really was an "us".

And no, I'm not going to go looking for anybody to replace you, because I don't really want anybody else. I want you, I ******* need you in my life.  

     But hey, if nothing else, you have opened my eyes to my true potential, and you have set me on the right path. And I will always be thankful for that. I just really wish that I could've somehow walked that path with you.

But at this point I'm sure that you hate me more than you ever have, which is really ****** up, because finally, I'm on the right track. I'm finally doing the right thing. I finally finished putting my past behind me, and I came out clean on the other side, STD-free and 6 weeks sober.


I just don't get it. Why now?
