I see no poetry in her eyes
I see me, and betrayal and lies
I see the emotions she tries to hide
While it pours like the rain outside

I reached out to lessen the tears
But I felt her walls up, as I cried
This is when my mistakes and fears
Bite me with guilt that I can’t survive

Can you please tell her this:
You know my weakness eats me alive
And I am a coward who doesn’t fight;
who refuses when you want a hug so tight

I should have cherished you like
You’re my life preserver, you own my life
But I hurt you like the lightning strike
I never learned how to make you alright

What I really wanna say is I am sorry
the memories slice my heart like a knife
I am sorry, I’m so ungrateful; awful
I left you all on your own that night.
