...For Her

Thoughts racing
Too many to write
I find I'm chasing
A new ghost tonight

I wouldn't have thought
That I'd be the one
To fight through it all
And then say we're done

It wasn't your fault
And I want you to know
That I never planned
On letting you go

I'm finding it hard
So hard to concieve
That there's anything left
In this world to believe

The swords are put asside
From fighting for days
I'll miss you, though,
In so many ways

We've fought our battle
We just couldn't win
And now a new chapter
I must begin

But we gave it a shot
And I really did try
Dare they say I didn't
Know that its a lie

I just need to move on
From the land of the dead
The sorrow and pain
Were messing with my head

Our time is over
Though not how we planned
This wasn't your fault
Remember that if you can

I wanted too much
And wanted it now
Regardless of cost
Regardless of how

So I'm letting you go
To find someone new
Someone who is more
Deserving of you

So you see, though we fought
We just couldn't win
So I'm letting you go
A new life to begin

    awwww. i am very sorry.. this is really sad. Hopefully you find that it was worth it. It is better to love and lost then to never love at all..

    CAptured from the first stanza. It was a beautiful poem and I am sorry that the wound is still fresh. This wasn't corny and that I could appreciate, and a word of advise? I'm not going to tell you cheer up, but be thankful and nostalgic on the good times and the bad times that gradually grew to better times that you had with the one who inspired this write.

    May Your Muse Forever And Always Inspire You

      Yes, Care. It IS for she who shares your name. I'm...in a place right now for the next year or so that makes having a relationship with her impossible, I'm afraid. We DID try though. And lasted longer than we probably should have. Single again! *sigh* Joy... (Sarcasm)
