Not You

The unsatisfying excuse of it’s not you, it’s me
Unleashed fears on a never-ending spree 
Lies that did spring from nothing
Turned every little thing into something 
And all those promises that were made 
Are laid beneath regrets’ shade 
Every night the poor little thing went to sleep
The only thing on her mind is not to weep
Thinking of all the things she could have said
Of all the possibilities and things she never had
With a heavy heart and an even heavier mind 
She sleeps, praying for some peace for her to find.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
