Nothing to forgive

You took away my dreams and filled them up with sand.

When I tried to hold on for dear life, they all slipped out of my grasp.

Am I destined to be alone? 

Gasping with the empty hole left behind?

I am tired beyond exhaustion but my heart refuses to forget.

What could have been if only you stay and make good your promises?

I cannot look at the moon without you in my head.

But you have clean forgotten all that I meant to you.

I know in my bones you made a decision.

To stop loving me or maybe you never loved at all.

And all I am left with are snatches of memory.

Memories I can’t even relive by sharing or flaunt.

What good is love that you can’t declare?

I thought it would be enough to know I am loved.

But now I know even that isn’t mine to boast.

You beg me for forgiveness.

If only sorry could make the pain go away,

I’d buy them by the dozens in store.
