Together (in my eyes)

Together

Things no matter how good were never going to be what you needed
In my eyes, I saw a time, a distant future where we could be more
Even when the strength in me waned I tried to hold on
Weathering the storm of your anger and frustrations

Each thing said like the sting of a whip against my psyche
Part of me breaking down little by little even when we could have been so much
Words forgiven until I am not good enough once more and the pain begins
Everything I offered is rejected and I feel worthless for it

But like the beaten animal I crawl back in hopes you will see what I can give
The fool I am thinking I could make this better again and then words again
This time I have them before me and have read them a hundred times over
Nothing left to give, nothing but my words and those are thrown back as nothing
