Tale of Heartbreak

I may not be enough for you But I am enough for me Perhaps it was wrong from the start Maybe I knew that Although it wouldn’t last I figured I could at least try Whether it was for you or me I have yet to realize There is no one to blame Other than myself of course Do not let your heart shatter Because the pain is not worth it Another will replace me She will be better for you Because if I stayed You would have been trapped Nothing good can come from me I now realize that A waste of time I can be I have wasted much of yours Yet I do not fear for you Because if you love someone Such as I You let them go If they return it was fate If not they will find another As will I So with love and care I bid you farewell Many doors are now open I wish you well

Really good write, so well done with such honesty and forthrightness and really making you think about relationships and our effect on these we've been involved in.
