Lisa Barton Poet I do not know?

I Let You Down

It won't be long, for the sadness to set in your eyes. I don’t have to see tears to know 
the things I’ve compromised. It won’t take long, for you tell me what I’ve done to you. 
I wish you wouldn’t, because I already know how much I hurt you.

I let you down. I let you fall between my fingers. I let you down. I know your sadness 
lingers. If everything went my way, I wouldn’t let you fall. I let you down, so far 
down, and I know it’s all my fault.

To run away, could only hurt you more. You know I loved you, but I’m not sure you do 
anymore. I cry for the pain I’ve brought you, every night when you’re asleep. I pray for 
you to wake, and maybe hear my weeps. Maybe you can understand, it never should have 
gone this far. But since it has, there’s no going back, I’ll still wish on every star. 

I let you down. I let you fall between my fingers. I let you down. I know your sadness 
lingers. If everything went my way, I wouldn’t let you fall. I let you down, so far 
down, and I know it’s all my fault.
