Peace Without You
Today I learned
that being me
always here for you,
always yours in intimacy
was never enough.
I did not give you
the peace your soul was searching for.
It shatters my heart…
how did we come to this?
I learned today
you were looking for comfort
in someone else’s words,
and all this time
I thought I was your world.
Have I taken you for granted?
Was it my fault all along?
I gave everything I had,
but maybe I was giving
all the wrong things.
I love you so deeply
that sometimes I wonder…
If I can’t make you happy,
maybe I should let you go.
Maybe if I were with someone
I didn’t love,
I wouldn’t weigh on his soul.
And you..
you’d be with someone
who doesn’t love you like I do,
but maybe
she’d give you peace.
And then…
we would both have peace.
But would I ever be happy?
If I found peace
and you found peace…
does that truly
mean happiness?
