It’s not that I don’t see you
It’s because I do,
And it’s tearing me apart
Knowing you are all I’ve loved,
But to stay would rip me apart,
And you would be walking away.
I wish to see you happy,
But all you did was frown.
I tried to make you laugh,
But all you did was grimace.
Was it something I did,
Or maybe something I said
To make you walk out that door,
And never once look back at me?
I wanted to reach out
Maybe try to stop you,
But my efforts were futile,
And no reaction was shown.
I tried doing everything for you,
But you never seemed to receive
Everything I gave.
Maybe I gave too much,
Just to make you happy,
But you never were happy.
So maybe we just weren’t right,
And I have to walk away
Knowing that it wasn’t me
But you.
