I didn't think I'd feel that bad
It's happened once or twice before.
But now the pain is growing
It's hurting more and more.
I've tried so hard to make him see
I'm more than I appear.
And he'll love her as I watch
And shed a silent tear
I tried everything that I could do
And I'm sorry that I wasn't enough.
I'm sorry that she stabbed my back
And I have to pretend I'm tough.
I'm sorry that I'm blinded
From the things that I should see,
But I'm mostly sorry for him
Cause he's missing out on me.
It's a never-ending heartache
That I've felt for way too long.
And when I think I've got it right
He reminds me I'm still wrong.
Nights seem to drag on
And days will never end.
It's impossible to stop loving him
So I guess I'll just pretend.
I'm sorry I've been open
The feelings are hard to hide.
I'm sorry that I let out things
That should have stayed inside.
I'm sorry he didn't understand
That we were meant to be,
But I'm mostly sorry for him
Cause he's missing out on me
I may not be the prettiest girl
But I try my very best.
And I can't believe I failed
When I tried to pass the test.
I wish he would give me a chance
There's more to me than meets the eye.
I know I'd be the best for him
If he would let me try.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
And that I make mistakes.
I'm sorry that I feel this way
It's a habit I've tried to break.
I'm sorry that I found the door
And couldn't reach the key,
But I'm mostly sorry for him
Cause he's missing out on me.
It's gonna be hard to see them happy
While I stand beside and mope.
But I'm not gonna quit,
No, I'll keep trying and have hope.
Cause I know one day he'll wonder
Why he didn't have the guts
To jump without a parachute
And put his faith in trust.
I'm sorry that the beauty of me
Lies within my soul.
I'm sorry I started the race
But couldn't reach the goal.
I'm sorry she was chosen
When I'd give my love for free,
But I'm mostly sorry for him
Cause he's missing out on me.
They say you don't know what you have 'til it's gone
And I believe they're right.
Until he sees the real me
I'll be waiting in plain sight.
We're only gonna live one time
We've got no second chances.
I hope he'll give his heart and soul
Instead of passing glances.
I'm sorry he's not man enough
To try to work this out.
I'm sorry that he won't accept
The things I'm all about.
I'm sorry that the two of us
Only exist in dreams,
But I'm mostly sorry for him
Cause he's missing out on me.
They say you don't know what you have
'Til it's gone.*

Amazing
The voice of this poem is so painfilled but strong. My heart feels every tear you've shed over him through your words. I loved it. You have done an amazing job with this.
-
Wow. It sounds like you really loved this person and suddenly had such a flood of emotions that you had to let it out. I tend to like happier poetry instead of things like heartbreaks but this is very well written. They say you don't know what you have till its gone. Great job!

hey
i changed the melody
its more upbeat
i'll show it to you when i finish it

Aw... Wow this poem is very well written. i could feel the different emotions as i read it. my favorite part is when you said "It's a never-ending heartacheThat I've felt for way too long. And when I think I've got it right He reminds me I'm still wrong." that was worded so good. thanks for entering my contest. i wish you the best of luck. ..<3.. Shelly

im actually working on a melody for it, but i have no idea how long that will take
-
Nice one.
I have to ask the same question as Craven did, how much music do you have? This turned out to be very interesting to read and get into.
-
this would pair beautifully with my lyric poem Hourglass Love, I absolutely love this piece, by the way do you have music you've made for this or just lyrics(plz respond)
-
thank you for entering and good luck
