i write letters to you

i crumble up and throw away

because they never feel good enough –

but i guess that’s the thing….

i never feel good enough.

i never feel good enough for you.

i never feel good enough because of you.

you left before i even knew you.

then you rebuilt your life,

like i wasn’t the missing piece.

you can’t try simply

to make up for the time lost.

you have to try whole heartedly-

it took my whole heart to let you in,

for you not to try.
