The Saddest Word

When asked the saddest word

Most people don't know how to reply

But I heard someone say

The saddest word

In the English language is

"Almost"

And I almost couldn't agree more

Because

My saddest word would be your name

Because the first time I heard it

I was never the same

Your name was the phrase

I repeat in my mind

Day after day

And night after night

When not thinking of it

I was thinking of you

And every chance I had

I asked for more and more

I needed you then

But I need you even more now

I need to hold you close

And hear your voice

I need to feel your breath

And never let go

You saved my life

But with one little wave

I let you consume me

In more ways then one

And I let you deceive me

And tell me

What to become

You tore me apart

So you could fix you

You stole my heart

And used it to mend yours

And I gladly gave it up

So you would love me more

But after it was done

All said and cleaned

You left me crying

On the cold bathroom floor

I felt like throwing up

Now all I feel is pain

When I hear

Your

Four letter name

We almost made it

We were almost right

Well....

Almost

Might almost

Be the 2nd saddest of the night
