Product of Tragedy

Do I push or pull?
Do I go straight or do I turn?
What works best for me
May not work best for you
Even your happiness matters
Should I stay here
Or run away while I have the chance?
Will I survive without it all?
Even though I did wait for you
I feel I’ve betrayed you as well
What am I to do now?
Pretending does not break my heart
To me it is only natural you act this way
I’ve cried in front of you
I’ve cried for you
A child to call your own
Does not result from jealousy and rage
I should have said something long ago, I know
I myself was afraid of how I felt
The end result is still the same…
I love you
