What Could Have Been
The expectations held on tightly
Strong enough to suffocate your love for me
What if all I needed was to let go?
Leave my dreams aside
To keep you by my side
I would've done it
Anything to keep you mine, and not hers
What if all we needed was a little time?
But instead you chose, for all time
Hastily ending our unity
Your fault in this wasn't the break
It was the giving up
When you vowed forever and always
You lied, promises broken
Words thrown around meaninglessly
Now, I lie
Discarded beneath a mountain of "what could have been"
And I'll stay here
Waiting for someone who cares
