Whiplash

Confusion, don't know how to feel.  
What are we doing here? 
My love for you has never been so real, 
One moment dread, the next cheer.
Our love is so strong,  our pain so deep, 
We fight, we cry,  we lose our heads,
We're losing faith, hope, and sleep,
Sleeping alone in separate beds,
One minute we're absolute bliss,
Chasing feelings we havn't felt in years,
Taking shots, thinking we can't miss,
Forgetting all of troubles and fears.
Next were at each other's necks,
Ready to choke, break, and strangle,
Both of us emotional wrecks,
Both of our souls, mangled and tangled.
I wish nothing but the best for you,
I just want you to find your happiness,
Seems I fail at everything I do,
Try to do good and just make a mess. 
I'm sorry for everything I've put you through,
It was never my intention I swear,
Falling short of expectations, true,
The consequences of which I now bare.
I hope that one day we can find our peace,
A life to be proud of at the end,
Where the fighting and scorn do cease,
And our broken souls can finally mend.
My love for you has always been, 
I strive to be a better man,
For you, and us, our kids, and then,
Complete, together, in love, we can.
