Weeping

I weep for the girl I lost in trying to love you

For loving you, meant hating myself.

I never saw the danger of giving my all,

Until I had nothing left to give anymore.

I weep for the girl you've lost.

For she would have given you the world

And asked for little in return

You never saw how hard she tried

To be enough for you while holding on herself.

I weep for us both.

For we may never find this girl again.

She still appears from time to time

But vanishes at the blink of an eye.

I weep for the love that was lost

 And the love that was yet to be found.

For we may never know

The greatness that could have come.
