You…

I failed you
I failed myself
I had no clue
No clue you would not help

You said
I even said
I love you
And that was
Not true

At least

You realized
I realized
That this was just a mess
But we refuse to confess
…but

you told me
I said to myself
Something is wrong
But kept it underneath
…until

you did not love
I did love
The essence of you
But afraid to show the anew
… but now

at least
for you
but
realized there is nothing
until I told you
How I felt
Now
I am over you.
