Was There Ever Really A Story?

Was there ever really a story

That was meant to be told

By the grace of our two mouths

As together we grew old

Or did you know from the beginning

It wasn't meant to be

But you felt too sorry to admit

The story wasn't for me

I think you really did try

If only just as first

I only wish I'd realized sooner

Your effort you didn't think me worth

Why did you keep me trailing

Falling ever deeper still

While all along your feelings

Were losing all their thrill

Why won't you let me love you??

My lungs gasping for air

In the face of soul killing rejection

My heart wrecked with despair

You fought for every other girl

What was so different about me

That you didn't take a second glance

At what was once our eternity

What made it so easy 

For you to turn away

And never spend a bit of strength

Pleading I take your name

My soul cries for answers

You never could provide

Too afraid what you might say

If ever you had tried

Our stories no longer woven

My self alone again

Left only to imagine

The beauty that could have been
