I can’t ever seem to get you off my mind,
no matter how hard I try, my attempts are futile,
if I try to make myself busy,
I can’t help but think ‘we used to do these things’,
if I try to think of something else,
well, I simply can’t.
You were the love of my life,
and now you’ll be forever lost,
but I thank God everyday for the time we had,
however I still feel slightly betrayed,
because I thought this would end in love,
but you made it clear that I was not enough.
You always wanted more, more than I could give,
and though it kills me to say it, I can’t forgive. . . myself.
You see, no matter the facts, I see it as my failure,
because I know the stitches fell from my tailored love for you
and that breaks my heart more than if you had just left,
simply because I now live in fear,
I fear that no matter who I give my love,
they will never see it as enough,
and I will always be the one that dies a little more each time.
So instead of risking it all,
I have decided upon a solution.
I will stow my heart away in a locked safe,
Never again will it see the light of day,
And though at first, it'll kill me to do so,
I know that'll it'll help in the long run,
When I avoid all the pain of you,
And every other girl that is much too good for me.
