Mistakes Help You Grow, Shaping Who You Are Once You'Ve Learnt
It eats me up inside.
Maybe you don't get it
maybe you're failing to accept
it,
But it's certain that it's hurting
and eating up my pride-
While guilt plays it part
While it all trembles before the
eyes soaked-
Reminiscent of your pain.
I can never win
Nor can I move forward
Paths are torn in two
And I want to believe you-
You say to me once more
When all I want is to hold and
prove I never loved
Like I now do
I never knew it was possible to
reveal a side to you
And that vulnerability
when your tongue tied words
Mimic the naked truth-
assuring not only your heart
but your mind falls harder
While you slip away in some
sort of fantasy
One you can't imagine leaving
One that's meant to remain
steady
Then the steadfast loyalty
suppresses any doubt
Even after doubt has been
proven time and time before
If only I loved you then as I do
now
I'd be a better person
Capable of genuine love.
