the three things

there are three things I've never told you
for fear of losing resolve
I never told you that I missed you
That without you I'd dissolve
That without your face
Your gentle touch
I'd lose my hold on life
that without your smile beaming for me
I'd never feel like much
I never told you that I hated you
For the way you made me feel
That you broke my heart in many ways
Ways that may never fully heal
For the way you hurt me left me cold
And left me in my shame
Now I feel so broken in myself
I don't know what to hold
The final thing I never told you
Was that I'm attached to your soul
your potential and your inner self
are all I want to hold
I wish I could be there for you
within your time of need
but I left you, and in the end,
I know you will leave me
