For What Words Can Never Give Their Due

I am forever grateful your love was mine to lose,
For I still love you.

And you’re in Boston
And I’m okay

I’m okay.

Thank you for that
For what words can never give their due.

I am sorry I didn’t get to know you better
That I didn’t listen more,
Didn’t implore your beautiful heart to open all the way,
Didn’t give you the safety to

And my heart breaks remembering all the times I made you cry and my heart didn’t bat an eye.
Breaks.

I know you were a very important part of my life;
You are a huge piece of what makes me whole.

And I was toxic to you.
Toxic.

But I hope you have a piece of solace in me, some quiet comfort in what was and what will be

I just can’t believe it all

We were just kids, really
Okay, maybe just me
But we were still growing up
We still are.

And I don’t know what closure looks like for us
How to heal the wounds we made
But I think it has something to do with time and age

I just can’t believe that this is all there is

I just wish there were an easy way to let go
It’s almost as if I am asking for your help

What ending can we write?
Or is this it?
Tell me what I can do
I owe it to you

For what words can never give their due
