time

I hoped for so long you would come back to me
I begged, I bargained, I bartered
every night in my dreams
that you would come home.

But home is where the heart is
And your heart left a hole here
A vacancy no one could fill
A void of unknown depths

It is always too late when the time comes
The chance you wanted so badly
Always too late when you thought it never could be
I thought it never could be. Would be. Can’t be.

You say you’ll get me back
But you never would have had to get me back
If you would have stayed put to begin with
Funny how what we want most is the same
But always on a different day

I have moved on
Yet you still sting me with your words
Your voice pierces my heart to this day
Plucking my heartstrings with each vocal vibe

I will forever belong to you, soul mate.
But you do not deserve someone like me.
And I deserve better than you.
I love you.
Move on now.
