How come I always,
Get so caught up?
Wrong people,
Wrong places,
Half-empty cup.

You seemed an exception,
Like things were finally right.
I never,
No, never,
Even put up a fight.

I wish I had, now,
I could’ve had so much more.
If I could only,
If only,
Have just walked out that door.

With just a simple “sorry,”
You left a hollow in my chest.
I understand,
Please, understand,
You have to “do what’s best.”

And then there we both were,
Civility a struggle.
There’s her,
There’s always her,
I’m too much for you to juggle.

So all I’ve got now,
Are your footprints on my heart.
I miss you,
So much now,
Let’s go back to the start.
