Should've said

Can't keep my head held up high 
Soil is by my feet 
Ashes scattered 
Consumed 
Becomes whole 

It leaves me 
Standing here 
This was always coming 
Predicted 
Destined to happen 
Ending in this separation

No closure 
No time 
Can't undo 

No such thing as those repeats on television 
No such thing as happy ever afters 

I apologise
I took my eye off the ball 
Got selfish 
Please accept me 
Hold me 
And tell me 

That I am enough
