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.
