I feel the tiny bittersweet droplets flow <br />The salty taste fills my mouth and my mind. <br />You know I knew you once, way back when. <br />Though it troubles me now, it's hard to find. <br />I wallow through my own sad sorrow, <br />With no desire to steal, break, or borrow. <br />You haunt me daily, and nightly still <br />I search hopelessly for anything to fill <br />This hole in my chest, <br />Which I myself ripped open. <br />That which was torn from my flesh, <br />To leave me bloodied and broken. <br />And here we are still, weeks gone by <br />I can never forget you, even if I try. <br />And though I know that my words <br />Will probably never reach you, <br />How can I just sit back? <br />I must try to get through. <br />The err in your perspective, <br />On this particular scene <br />Is vulgar and gross <br />And slightly obscene. <br />I cared for you more than I cared for me, <br />Which doesn't mean much, <br />But you know what I mean. <br />There wasn't a thing in the world <br />That I wouldn't have done, <br />To just make you smile. <br />To just make you have fun. <br />I loved nothing more <br />Than just to hear you laugh, <br />Even if it came at the expense of my own behalf. <br />You meant the world to me <br />Over and over again. <br />You could've looked anywhere, <br />But not found a happier man. <br />I would have died for you, <br />If you'd just asked me to. <br />But I would've sooner lived, <br />If only to see your face. <br />And I know that right now it seems, <br />You definitely need your space. <br />But please hear what I say, <br />That you weren't a mistake, <br />And this may not have been fate, <br />But I cherished every day.<br /><br />Parker Griffith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unhappy-ending/
