She sees him through the wall
The wall she built layered in the distances she put between them
frosted over moments painted with the coldness of a selfish heart
He desperately tried to save them
But she always knew
She didn't wanna be saved
He rode in on a stallion named loyalty
On a wave known as affection
He loved her only , and always
But it wasn't enough
Bit by bit he handed her is heart
And in the end he kept trying to just hold on
This was his love of a lifetime
but he was just " a " love in hers
The flowers , the notes , and letters ,
Drawings , and dates remembered
To him were special
To her , just another stone , hardened over in the coldness of her heart.
She broke him,
The wall finally met his eye
He could see now it was only him trying to save " them"
She was indifferent
He traded " loyalty " for "hopeless"
And prays  she at least realized what shes done.
He loved her with all he was ,
And she let him ride away
All she has left is the wall she built
Layered and laden with frosted over memories
Of all the times he tried to make " them " special.
And she just tossed them aside....
Because her " life didn't need to change "
It hurts so much to try so hard
