Twenty-six

 6 days ago she turned 26

Another year of repeating the same mistakes

She took you back, thinking things would be different

Just because you promised her it would be

But then you asked her to be a daisy

Even though you knew deep-down she was a wildflower

And she started feeling like an extra in your play again

Keeping her around for your personal gain

She left the man who loved her, to be with the one who ignored her

Thinking they could go back to the way things once were

And the image of how you were remains a blur

Even if she knows you love her

Now she sleeps in the bed alone at night

And eats to push down the feelings building up inside

She takes long walks alone to drown out the noises in her head

Telling her to get out while she's ahead

What she doesn't tell you is the following:

She can't forget the things you did

Or everything you said

And especially the way you lost her pet

She also doesn't love you the way she used to

And sees clearly now, that you will never make her happy

Because she knows you won't even try

The heart you broke will always remain broken

No matter how hard you try to fix it, the shards will cut her open

Because you told her she was the love of your life

Then left her because you wanted to live your life

You told her you would always love her and that you were sorry

In two weeks you were fucking somebody

And even if she were able to get over all the things you did

She could never forgive you making her feel the same way she did
