Before We Say Goodbye

Can I admit this to you before we say goodbye? After all the mistakes, can I get this right? Can I hug you one last time before I go for good? Can I use this last chance to show you love? I'm a flawed man, but please don't hold it against me You say I'm full of myself, but I feel empty I'm scared to admit that this whole thing is an act I've been trying to fly with the wings that I lack If a hero needs saving, how can he save you? I'm trapped in a maze, but I want to amaze you That line was below average and you deserve better But this is more than me putting rhyming words together It's like Cupid's arrow struck you, but missed me I felt attacked anytime you kissed me I'd never felt love and kindness before so I was scared I pushed you away, when I didn't want you to go anywhere You deserve all the love, but I was unable to provide it I felt a lot for you, but depression forced me to hide it You don't have to accept it, but I wanted to apologize I had to write this before we say goodbye

Oh Alex.... your poem is so sad. Maybe she needs her space, then she will return to you. Have a nice evening my friend.

Thank you, this isn't based on current me or new pain, just a poem I threw together based off old pain & stuff I couldn't express at the time, thank you, hope you have a nice evening too :)
