Loss For Words

Expectations fall short

As I thought they never would

I didn't expect to lose you like I did

I didn't think you would just walk away from me like you did

Little did I know how wrong I was

 

Don't you see that I still care?!

Don't you see that I don't want this to fall to shambles yet I’m watching you leave

Like you don't care.

Like you want us to fail

It’s a bittersweet realization to say the least.

You were one person I thought would be there til the end

One person I could always call my best friend

 

Stuff got messed up

Stuff blew up

It wasn't supposed to happen this way but this is our new reality

It’s a reality where I see you every day and wonder if you think of me

Do you wonder how I am or do you not care?

Do you ask how I’ve been or do you go on your way like we never met?

 

I thought we would make it

But this doesn't deplete the memories I have

It just makes it that much more nostalgic of what we won’t have

I thought I had so much more time

So many more memories to create

I didn't know that they would be taken from me in a heartbeat

From one incident that changed everything

That thought brings tears to my eyes—

It makes me despise

All the passed time—

I lost it like a crime

 

No words can describe

What I would do to fix this

Stupid pride gets in the way

And it plays us just like any other day

Suddenly I’m at a loss for words

Because I don’t know what to do!

All I can say is, I lost you, but you lost me too

 

You didn’t try either and that hurts the most

You didn’t fight for me, you just let me go

I’m not sure if this will ever be right

And after this I’ll act like I don’t care

But know this—

If you ever need me, I will ALWAYS be there.

Notes

It's been a while since I've written something, but today I had to get this out so here it is. It might not make a lot of sense. I might be all over the place; that's how it should be. It's how my mind is today and that's what mindset you kind of need to read this. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS... The title is still a work in progress. If you have any suggestions, please send them my way.
