Ill-fated
/I loved you, beyond belief
And you said you loved me too
Yet together we never were
Always apart, yet close at hand
We thought things would one day change
I held onto this hope for years
Constantly by your side
But never the one on your arm
I was there, even when you
Refused to acknowledge me
I soon gave up
Why be there when you were not?
Friends we stayed, even if
The underlying tension was ignored
And I tried not to let my heart break
Then, when I thought myself finally over you
You were gone
Forever
And my heart shattered
My mind fell apart
Gone were the potentials
The maybes and what-ifs
The one-days, the eventually’s
Only-ifs, time-will-tells,
And the ever hopeful promises
We would never be together
Never have a chance
Pain drags at my core
For I lied to myself
I never stopped loving you
And I probably never will.
