Let's face it.... <br />I let you down, I know that. <br />But I never promised you that I'd be perfect. <br />I never guaranteed you that life with me would be easy. <br />No, I haven't always made the right decisions, <br />But I'm working on that. <br />You haven't really handed me a road map towards happiness either. <br />People are always telling me that my life is way off track. <br />But I'm starting to wonder if it was even on track to begin with. <br />Maybe I have taken a few wrong turns, <br />And maybe I have led myself astray. <br />But where were you when I was looking for the way home? <br />Where were you when I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go? <br />Where were you when I needed a hand to lead me where I needed to be? <br />I guess we both let eachother down in our own way. <br />But you and I both know damn well that we need eachother. <br />I'm not ready to face this world on my own yet, <br />And I know that you can't do it either. <br />We weren't meant to go through this alone. <br />You know that just as well as I do. <br />So please, don't give up on me yet. <br />I can't count how many times I've told myself that I didn't need you. <br />But the truth is... <br />I need you more than you will ever know. <br />I'm tired of pretending to be strong. <br />I'm tired of hurting inside and trying to fill the hole in my heart with something that could never replace you. <br />I can't do it anymore. <br />It's starting to hurt way too much, <br />And I'm through with hurting. <br />I'm through with being alone.<br /><br />Crystal Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-37/
