I never meant for you to be a substitute —
To keep my life from feeling so destitute

In the process, heartache only compounded the error...
But I was none the wiser, nor my life any fairer

I never wanted to waste your time or mine —
Even though I knew nothing would ever be fine

Now here I am, as vacant as an empty ocean —
Enveloped in the hatred, of the words that were spoken.

Unable to undo this monumental mistake —
Suffering the consequences that lie in its wake.

Though it's forsaken now — all for naught...
For misery and loneliness, is all that this brought.
