PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I promised to be there for you, through it all

I promised to be honest

But it was never that simple

Especially for someone like me



I was too afraid to let you inside,

to see the real me

You saw more of the real me than anyone before

But you still deserved so much better



I hid my true feelings behind closed doors

Although I did love you with every beat of my heart,

I was not completely honest

and I should have been from the start



I let go too early, but pretended to hold on for you

My heart was hurting too much

Continuing back and forth

But I pretended that I was fine



I know it is all my fault

and now I have lost you



They say that love is worth the battle

But if they were right

Why did I not give my all for you

If you were everything to me

Why did I not even try to fight?
