A Belated Explanation
I wish you could feel the pain in my heart
Know the confusion in my head
Understand why I wouldn’t care if I was dead
Love my bleeding heart,
And let's move on
Because I really hate this part
You don’t know my name
And for that only I am to blame
I valued freedom, that much more than fame
As much as I hope to live my life
I know I will always love you
But being apart causes so much strife
No matter what I do,
No matter who I love
Nothing I do will ever be good enough
This love is forever unrequited
Whether or not I deserve this love
I will always feel slighted
Because it never got its chance
And I was too heartbroken
To notice your first advance
I wish you saw me,
When I saw you
Because then I knew,
We could have had a love so true
But, alas, you will never have a clue
For my feelings, I could never articulate
And yours I did'nt know how to reciprocate
Between you and I
Romeo and Juliet
Weren't stars crossed in the sky
Compared to you and me
Their lives didn’t end in tragedy
They got to be marriied
And lived forever after happily
And really, we can’t be
Together
Contented
We’re more like
Enemies
Resented
Falling, Fighting
Freeing, Frightening
Our passion as striking as lighting
So my one will never be our two
And I’ve been forced to make peace
With that though it wasn’t what I wanted to do
Believe me, I want you to know who I really am
Even though you thought it was nothing but a hoax
But, I tell you this
What I felt for you wasn't part of any joke.
But, it only took an instant
For everything to change
To change my life forever
And forever I'll never be the same.
