Over
I wonder and I wonder.
and I wonder and I wonder.
what I could have done.
What I could have done
so that this never happened.
so that we never fought like we did
So that it never escalated to this.
What I could have done to make it better
so that it wouldn’t have to end this way.
so that you would stay.
what I could have done so that it never gave you even the slightest thought.
so that you’d never ever look back to that day.
the thought that made you say
you no longer wanted to stay.
I am so terribly sorry that I am not everything you wanted me to be.
I am so sorry that it wasn’t good enough just being me.
I know that I am not perfect
and I have many many flaws.
but I wanted to work through our differences
because I believed in you
and I believed in us
and what we could both be.
Together.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Our time is over
and now I am so alone
with nowhere to go.
I’m left alone to pick up the pieces you left for me.
