Is It True

You are my sun, my only reason for life Yet recently, you’ve brought me nothing but strife There is nothing I want more, than I want to be with you But forever estranged, my memories will have to do In my haste to be perfect, I tripped and I fell So now i’m stuck loving you, in my personal hell I wish that you could know, I wish that you could see That I will forever want you, but you do not want me They say that the pain makes us better, makes us strong And yet here I stand, knowing that they are wrong I know it’s not your fault, i’ve only myself to blame Therefore my every waking moment, I fill myself with shame I destroyed something beautiful, I lost what could have been So to me forever more, love has lost its sheen You deserve a better person, something I am not Whilst I stay and suffer in the destruction I have wrought There is nobody that could love you, as much as I do now Though some may try, they all will fail, and I would ask them how? How could they be so foolish, not to recognize your worth For every second I spent with you was in the moment, full of mirth Now those moments sit inside my soul, a poignant memory Nothing in this universe, will ever set me free I want to move on, I wish I knew that I could However, in this bog of pain and loss, I seem to be stuck for good Woeful am I, losing you has left me in pain Tears run down my face, falling like torrential rain Searching for an answer, yet running into walls Is it true I ask, to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?
