If one finds, they have found
one day,.. Me,..
and that seemingly, it is not to be
Yet, that here, I must be
...still?  
searching?
Obviously set upon one
and they remain
unwilling to witness
Such a sad scene?
please say to me,
stop friend.
enough.
make me see
how life then is
what this quest has cost.

and tell me truths brutal
so I am to feel them.
use words
that do not miss
then leave me to wonder
why am I
torn and forced to accept
How
No One
is worth so so much
such as I've given.
Not I.
Not even,..
Them.
please say to me
i am not
so great as
to never know another.

Say I am
only as great as I am
willing
so that I may come
to the ruins I've neglected
and begin a new,
building  but for me.  

Please say
I am capable
if only I accept
and move on.

I know this,
but to hear it.
Passed the lips
that once promised

never again,

whisper
i am

better

than this.
