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?
