I wrote this a couple months ago and it doesn't really apply anymore, but it's still a poem none the less. The title is subject to change, as it has a billion times before. None of them feel right.


None Better

I really tried to fight it,
But all I did was fail.
Yet this pain is still so great;
The tears have left their trail.

I have always loved you,
But I lost sight of that.
I let the fear take over me,
And I ignored the fact.

It kills me just to know
How much pain I caused you.
If I could take it all away,
There's nothing I wouldn't do.

I didn't listen to myself,
Or what I really wanted.
Instead I listened to the ones
Whose opinions I thought counted.

Now too late I realize
I want what used to be.
I hope you don't forget
How much you mean to me.

I lilke the way this rolls right along! It seems both natural and "easy," but heartfelt nonetheless.
PS: Why not "realize" in line 17?
