I wish I knew
why I keep trying
it seems so pointless
a cruel trick
of God or fate
I had no chance
right from the start
and yet I fell
and here I am
suffering for it
It feels so wrong
that something beautiful
can be so painful
but that’s what comes
I guess
with no one to blame
for this failing
and falling
except my own dumb heart
that couldn’t see this coming
and ran on in
right into the minefield
that anyone
with half a brain
could’ve seen
I feel just like
the poets of old
writing about great loves
unknown
unrequited
except that they
were talented
and I’m just a fool
that read too deep
and fell too hard
and can’t find his way out
