I'm done trying.
Apologies
Crawling on my knees
Smiling through the freeze
out between us
calmly bending with no fuss
getting nowhere fast
how long can I last
at this pace?
Flat on my face
asking for grace
looking you in the eye
eating humble pie
atoning for wrongs
long gone
still trying trying trying
to hold on to
you.
to something real
while losing touch- my feel
for the situation
losing the plot
but I'm not
Am I?
Have I already lost?
paid the cost?
Are we now through?
Have I lost
have I really
finally
forever
lost you?
Yes.
I am done.
