Unheard Apology
By Alexandria J. Eliason
And it took me too long to realize
The reason you left was not my fault
You told me you couldn't love me until I quit loving him
But what you really meant to say was
You couldn't love me because you were still in love with her
I wondered if I was not worth the fight
I wondered if you were right
Looked in the mirror at a face full of flaws
Cried in the night for a reason why
I applaud your lies
And that beautiful disguise
Tried to blame me and my caring heart
But we were both the ones to tear us apart
Because you were right; I was still in love with him
But you were wrong saying he was why you couldn't love me
Because I was right to walk away
But I was wrong leaving you that way
Confused and hurt I lashed out at you
Confused and hurt you lashed out too
And now all that's left is a broken song
Loved you I did, but not like I love him
Cried for you I did, but not like I cry for him
Smiled for you I did, but not like I smile for him
Laughed with you I did, but not like I laugh with him
I never knew love could destroy love
But I want you to know that it doesn't matter
I owe you an apology but my pride won't let me speak
Really when you denied me love
You opened my heart to true love
So here is my unheard apology
I wish you only the best
And thank you for all the rest
