Taken Me Down - For You - Ii

I've written the words,
and finally collapsed at your feet.
I've broken my pen,
as well as my heart,
my own fault,
holding on to the edge of imagination,
just a little too long,
my grip finally slipped,
and I've landed 
deep in the middle of the reality.
I am rendered speechless,
yet I cannot take the words back,
and don't want to.
but I've collapsed at your feet,
unrequitted love,
has finally taken me down.
