Picking Up the Pieces
March 9, 2016
I learned today
That the high you get when you fall in love
The endorphins that pump hot, and heavy
Through your veins
That high that you associate with true love
Ends after two years
That explains so much.
It explains why nothing ever felt the same
It explains why you felt I didn't love you
It explains why you gave up on me
And then me on you
It's the reason we fell down
The Path of Our Destruction
It's the reason we're so broken now
Trying to give away the shattered pieces
Of the hearts that at one time
Only beat for each other
Even while we still try to cling
To the person we pledged
Our entire futures to
I regret not trying harder
And I regret not convincing you
That my love still burns just as bright
Even if it's not in the same way
I'm sorry for breaking your heart
And my own as well
I'm sorry for not picking up the pieces
