72

All this time

I spent ignoring

Everything that was

Truly mine

I looked beyond

Hoping for something

That couldn’t even compare

To you

I can’t believe

How foolishly

How blatantly

I was lost

As selfish as could be

I was to you

And all this time

Everything was true

I make me sick

To think of this

To know that I

Couldn’t be more like you

I didn’t give

I held everything in

I was afraid

I forgot to live

And, for all this time

You stood by my side

Wishing that I could see you

Praying that you’d be mine
