“I don’t see you that way”
I cringe making an attempt to resurrect my pride
I can’t look you in the eye
Face the pity that dwells in them
Looking down on me, reciting this rehearsed line
Hard to believe this is the conclusion
No fireworks, no happy end
Reality is rather difficult to comprehend
When I fooled myself for so long
Believing we were more than friends
Rejection is hard to swallow
When you’ve been hiding from it all your life
Until you grow terrified of being alone at night
I thought this was worth the risk
But the truth settles in like the blade of a knife
My mind is screaming the words
I’ll never have the will to say
Emotions I haven’t the strength to convey
I mourn the loss of what could have been
What you so casually tossed away
I can’t make you love me
I just wish you could have seen
The vision behind this dream
For a moment my life held beauty, possibility
I had something to believe
I’ll gather what remains of this heart
Attempt to move on, attempt to let go
One bitter fact remains so hard to swallow
We could have been amazing
And now we’ll never know
For Joe :/ |
