The Wish I Knew
Before I met you
I was depressed
Before I was whole
I was in pieces
Scattered across the floor
Before I knew you
I thought you were
Just another guy
Who would leave
Me while I cry
Before I left
You’d curl me back
under your arm
And ask why?
I let you go
Before you
Could ever hurt me
I ended it
Before it even started
I am not one
To forgive
I’ve been broken
Too many times
And I was not going to be
Vulnerable
But you were
The wish I knew
You were different
And I left you
I will be lonely
The rest of my life
Because I was
Afraid to take
One more chance
But I didn’t
give you one
You were
The Wish I knew
And I’ll regret it
For the rest of my life
And for that I am sorry
But I’ve been broken
too many times
