Depression

I miss her
She was all mine
But I let stupidity take control
And now I will pay my toll

I am a fool
For letting her go
But I deserve this
You reap what you sow

She was perfect
One hundred percent worth it
But now she is gone
And all I can do is move along

I sit at this bar tonight and drink away my worries
I want to get so trashed I can not remember a thing
Not even the day I had bought her the ring

Alcohol poisoning is not a problem
At this point I really do not care
Life just is not fair

I wish I can hit rewind
And go back to before I had met her
So beautiful like the streets of Venice
When I was a witness
To her personality and charm
And I stood so alarmed

Hand in hand we used to stroll
To each other we were all that mattered
But now you claim that your life I hath shattered
That night I did something unforgivable
I gave another girl a kiss
Now you I will forever miss

I deserve all of this
I hope one day I can be forgiven
Because right now this life is not worth livin

I will wait and hope for you to return
Because over the past four years I learn
I learned that I can never take you for granted
I loved you
I hold this evidence to be true

This ring on my finger will linger
I have yet to take it off since that day
When you simply walked away

But now all I want is to see
Your charm, grace, and elegance
You set me free

But now that we have said goodbye
I lay awake and cry
And tonight I deserve to die

Love does not live because we punish our souls, but live to make us escape our punishment. Every failed opportunity of love shows how fallible we are before the perfection of grace.
