Me and You
For the longest time I've cared for you
It's different now, it's all I do
Hoping for these dreams to come true
Waiting for there to be a "me and you"
"Me and you"
For the longest time I thought you cared
That maybe you were just scared
Hiding behind a mask
That set as a permanent cast
But clearly I was wrong
You came, and now you're gone
Off doing better things I guess
Boy, ain't this a mess?
I thought you were different
Convinced myself you were the best
Although I see my fault
Should have locked my emotions behind the doors of thoughts,
The vault..
Do you realize what you've done?
Taken all I had left,
Allowed for one of us to move on
And the other to feel wronged
I was afraid of this from the start
You set me up
And tore me apart
Piece by piece
I can't take it
Not anymore
These wounds run deep
Much deeper than you can see
They can't be mended by only me
I need your help
Help me see that you and I weren't meant to be
Until that point I can only weep
I search and search
For a reason to continue on..
But in the end, I realized
I knew from the start
What must be done.
I hoped and prayed
That it weren't true
But what else was there left to do?
I sat in silence
One last time
I wrote my will
And said goodbye
I nestled the barrel against the side of my head
Still thinking of you
I cried..
Harder and harder
Soon it was unbearable
Without hesitation
The trigger was pulled
And I was done.
My suffering has ceased
But at what cost?
I thought it was for the best
That only I would it affect
Not thinking of others
is my only regret
But as for her
I was shocked
When she heard of what I had done
She dropped to her knees
Completely paralyzed and feeling week
tear by tear fell down her face
And only then did I realize that yet again, I was wrong
She was my world
The reason I have ever loved
My last intent was for her to hurt
But look what I have done
As time went on she felt worse and worse
eventually leading her to the same fate that I had endured
For I thought she didn't care
But she did all along
It was all my fault
Knowing now what could've come
If only I spoke up when I was offered the chance
It could have worked out
We would've been great
But no,
I left when things ran thin
And for the first time ever
The thoughts of us no longer echoed within..
