Is it even possible to gain redemption?
You broke my heart and I did too,
when I lost you.

These words have taken forever to divulge,
and now they're flowing endlessly,
gushing out of my heart mercilessly.

You and I were the enemy,
but now,
I guess it's just me.

Why do I feel as if I betrayed my heart?

You became a part of me
So much so,
that I can not escape,
I just end up in the same place.

Will you forgive me?
I gave you 29 chances,
you improved,
but I still felt alone.

Should I be sentenced for the rest of my life
For not giving you one last chance?
Am I guilty of this crime?
For choosing a guy that recognized my worth the first time?

I gave you plentiful years of my youth
And as I entered my prime,
I finally read the signs.

I've been mislead and neglected of all the joy that true love brings.

You've imprisoned in me,
your own identity of the strange thing
you call love.

And the most glorious thing of it all,
Is that you couldn't fall in love with me
No matter how much I tried to help,
Even if I pushed you off the ledge and did it myself.

And the most tantalizing thing of it all,
Is that once you've met your soulmate,
Love will find its way to your sleep,
And join you in your dreams.

I guess it just couldn't be me,
And I know it's hard to see,
That the one you need isn't me.

You're in love with the idea of me
loving you,
And not because you've fallen over me.

I know that it's hard to see,
All my unique qualities,
I know you can't believe,
that I would actually go and leave.

But it's just for me to see
All the pure things
you've held from me.

But it's just for me to seeAll the pure things you've held from me
