it feels as though i can’t give life

because you took mine away

i will never understand

because i would never do

what it took for me

it didn’t take much for you

i longed and longed

until i couldn’t anymore

i’ve lost hope

as you’ve lost me

please don’t stay

for i may give myself away

i try and i try

but what i am is never enough

i have accepted it

and i must move on

i guess it’s all i’m used to

but you must never confuse

who you thought i was

and who i actually am
