why'd you give up on us?

-to a lover that gave up on me too soon.

Did you even try at all?

I bet you didn't hear
my heart
s h a t t e r
to pieces when you
told me this wasn't
what you wanted
a n y m o r e.

I bet you didn't see
how hard I was
t r y i n g
to hold a wave
of emotions back.

I bet you didn't know
that that wave
hit me
h a r d
that night.

I saw it coming though.
But I never really
prepared myself
for the w o r s t
because a part of me
hoped that you
wouldn't
give
up
on
us.

But you did.

And I learned the
hard way that night
that I had
a l w a y s
loved people more
than they could
e v e r
love me.

You know,
I could have
given you
the world
if you had
let me.
