What Could Have Been by Brett

Alas yet again the time has come for us to part...
And yet again it breaks my heart...
For i will not be there to see you take off...
Because life is unfair and tends to treat me wrong..
But this time it's a different sadness i get...
For over some time i'm sorry to say and regret..
That I've noticed somethiing different that i didn't before..
Something that causes pain right down to my core..
It weakens me so that i can barely hold back...
The tears i should cry into my pillow sack..
For when I lye in bed thinking of it..
It almost makes me want to be sick...
Because i know all of this could have been stopped..
If i just took the time to simply watch..
As it unfolded right infront of my eyes...
The way it would tear me from my insides..
But i guess i was too busy trying to be your best friend...
A mistake that i will never make again...
For being all that I could be just wasn't enough..
It has now caused me to lose our trust..
That i thought we once had which we could never...break....never...
But evidentally not everything lasts forever..
Deep down I know the feelings are always there..
Maybe someday you will care..
At least for now I can hide my pain..
I know if I dont, I'll go insane..
It hurts to know you've shut me out..
Now i guess I know what friendship is all about..
But for some reason I still always think of you..
Your voice your smile,everything you do
At first i thought this would never work out,
I thought we would never last, without a doubt,
But as time went on I thought I could see..
What an amazing friendship this could turn out to be..
As it turns out all in all it never ends for good..
I guess somehow you made me think it would..
Just when you things are at its worst..
Something happens that makes me feel cursed..
But now I've learned that Life is like an hour glass..
You come to realize that nothing will last..
Because eventually it all ends up hitting the bottom..
Waiting to be turned over...and change everything thats rotten..
But my life is different from that of any other..
For as long as i wait I cant get anyone to turn it over..
However I thought I had found someone who could save my life..
And change certain things...and make my life right..
But now I've come to see that they are like the others..
Simply there hoping to be turned over by a friend or another...
And unfortunately I tried to give someone happiness..
But in return I received nothing but sadness..
Something I put up with for a very long time..
But the time has come for me to leave that behind..
So with that being said I'll say my goodbye..
And hope you take into consideration these thoughts of mine
