The things I think, the things I feel, words cannot express;
The pain that you inflict on me, believe me, I'm a mess.
I may not say it out loud, and it may not be that clear;
But know that deep down inside of me, I struggle something dear.
To have felt a perfect joyfulness, happiness shining through;
To feel your arms around me, there was nothing we couldn't do.
We couldve had a life together, happiness beyond measure;
To know that you loved me, that was my greatest treasure.
But I wasn't enough for you, love seemingly had gone;
Or perhaps love was never there at all, and now I'm left forlorn.
I thought that I was your everything, just like you were mine;
But another caught your gaze and you left me and love behind.
I hope she makes you feel things that I could never make you feel;
I hope she holds you tighter than I did, I hope she's the real deal.
Does she make you happier? Does she bring you joy?;
Does her embrace touch something deeper in you, nurturing that little boy?
Believe me when I say it, I really hope she's the one;
But knowing the boy you are and the damage that's been done,
She can only hope to be the next, one girl in a line of many;
Who dream of breaking through the mist of your toxic haze, if any.
You see, love will never be enough for you, it'll always be a near miss;
And the girls who felt so much for you won't offer another kiss.
They'll move on and find their dream, in a man who treats them right;
And you my love will never see the light in that dark night.
The pain you inflict on others, it's not a personal thing;
It reflects the misery inside of you, the boy who'll never sing.
But me however, well here's the thing, I may be broken now;
But truer love will find me again, and I'll take my final bow.
To you I may have been just another girl, or perhaps I was something special;
But you discarded me, you left me, and for that I am so grateful.
Because while you worship at her altar, and convince yourself I never mattered;
I'll be picking up the pieces of my self esteem you shattered.
One by one the pieces will fit, and I will see myself so clear;
I will look into that mirror and see the one I truly hold dear.
Maybe then you'll want me back, when your latest flame has left;
And when that happens I'll smile to myself and I'll leave you bereft.
Because that girl in the mirror? The one who's smiling back?;
There's a wisdom in her eyes and a love she'll never lack.
She will be my everything, in happiness she will dine;
Because in the end, the only love she'll truly have is mine.
