To love a dream,
to hit a strike.
Easy it would seem
but I asked you to take a hike.
I didn't believe in love,
it was like a fantasy
that all but drove
me mad- an insane esctasy.
It wasn't meant to be
anything more but I took
it too hard, see.
I can't help but take another look.
It was the smile that never happened,
the pain that knew no bounds,
that cracked my heart open,
and I'm left howling like a basset hound.
Why, why, why
was I the only one
who didn't see the lie, till
it was all but done.
And you're gone,
I'm still here,
what am I still doing here seriously.
Do you know how it feels?
To be me,
and not you.
To be strong,
and not cry.
To be lying in a ditch
and smiling like a fool.
Missing you,
hating you.
Why am I the one
who has to say,
"Don't cry that it's over,
smile because it happened."
Why am I the only one
who wants a return-
back to the glorious past
before it all crumbled into dust.
All over, all over,
I was the one who loved a dream.
The one to cry and lie,
the one left, I'm still missing you.

I love how you started off in rhyme and then like a shift, it all cracks wide open and the emotion starts to flow out. Nicely done!!
-
It's well-written and I like it. The rhyme in the third stanza was a little hard for me to follow, but they may be because I'm not that great at rhymes. The second stanza is my favorite part. Nice write.
