Pride

Is it my pride that stops me from saying what I truly want to say to some people?

Or is it because I'm just scared of what they'd say back?

There are some people that have come across my life that I truly do miss,

But honestly, I feel like they were the ones to do me wrong in the end.

Maybe that's because I only ever saw my side, and truly never saw theirs.

I'll admit I tried, but the effort I put in to see indeed wasn't fair.

Now I'm lost, I'm stuck,

And I'm alone.

The people I loved most have left me long ago,

Yet their pictures still pop up in my phone.

And each day I see them, I still cherish them anyway,

Hoping they will finally find their way back to me,

Where we can forgive and forget,

And reminisce on good memories.

But I don't think that day will ever come,

The life I live now, it's a product of what I've done.

It's a life filled with so much regret,

I sleep beside a gun,

Because when the memories fill my mind,

I pick up the gun and put it to the side of my head,

And the memories run scared,

Because they know I want to be dead.

But what they don't know is that, I'm afraid to pull the trigger,

I only act bigger than I seem,

Because inside I'm a little man who just wants to let out a scream.

But for now, it works, and they don't suspect anything,

But if they do, and I must finally pull the trigger and shoot,

I want my last words to be-

"I'm sorry for everything I've said and done. I wish I could've been a better friend,

But it's okay,

I see you've already found yourself a better one.

I haven't stopped missing you since the last day of our friendship begun,

And lastly, I hope you can truly forgive me,

Because you were some of the people I truly loved."
