I've tried my best to let it go,
Perhaps I've not tried hard enough.
But still I feel so empty and hollow,
It all seems to be getting quite tough.
One step forward and two steps back,
Just one thing I can not seem to hack.
I hear your name and my worlds collide,
I don't know how and I don't know why.
My love for you I have never denied,
But I've always hid it I'm still so shy.
I had a chance that came and went,
Just like a love letter that was never sent.
A void so black and unfulfilled,
A broken heart that's left to bleed.
A once proud soul just hurt not killed,
A sudden stop with no warning to heed.
An inescapable chasm cut to the bone,
And now I'm left to clean-up alone.
I know I'll get through what perils ahead,
And speak the words left so long unsaid.
A life time of pain will relinquish its hold,
Instead of vacant the sign will read "SOLD".
A broken dream will mend in time,
But the sentence so far is unbefitting the crime.

I've tried my best to let it go,
Perhaps I've not tried hard enough.
But still I feel so empty and hollow,
It all seems to be getting quite tough.
One step forward and two steps back,
Just one thing I can not seem to hack.
I hear your name and my worlds collide,
I don't know how and I don't know why.
My love for you I have never denied,
But I've always hid it I'm still so shy.
I had a chance that came and went,
Just like a love letter that was never sent.
A void so black and unfulfilled,
A broken heart that's left to bleed.
A once proud soul just hurt not killed,
A sudden stop with no warning to heed.
An inescapable chasm cut to the bone,
And now I'm left to clean-up alone.
I know I'll get through what perils ahead,
And speak the words left so long unsaid.
A life time of pain will relinquish its hold,
Instead of vacant the sign will read "SOLD".
A broken dream will mend in time,
But the sentence so far is unbefitting the crime.
