I Was There

I was there to watch us fall I was there to watch us drown You know that I’m sorry Because it hurts, I’m letting you go I’ll forget you, I’ll erase you Take my heart as you’re leaving I don’t need it anymore Did you ever really want this? I thought I could live in your arms forever My jealous heart just couldn’t take it I swear that you don’t have to go But I couldn’t stop you even if I tried What was all of it for? Why did I mess up? When will I be okay again?

Love truly is a painful endeavor. You'll be okay again if you just believe you will be. Beautiful tragic poem.
