Burn

Failure wasn’t ever an option,
But now it is my only choice left.
Leave me now
While you still have the chance.
Leave before I break your heart
Like I know I will.
Nothing I do
Ever ends right
I only know failure.
You know I love you
And that is why
I can’t have you.
Because whomever I love
Ends up getting burned the worst.
I swore I’d protect you
I know now that is impossible.
I’m too weak,
I’m useless.
I am incapable of
Giving you all you deserve.
I gaze into your eyes
And wonder what you ever saw in me.
I can see it in your eyes…
You refuse to give up on me…
I won’t be able to live with myself
Knowing I hurt you.
Please, forgive me
For being a failure
For not being
Everything that you ever wanted
Everything that you ever needed.
I’ve tried,
And I continue to try…
But I am not worthy
To be as close to you
As you want me to be…
You are perfect.
I love you,
You know that,
Never forget it,
But know that I
Will never be perfect.
And I can’t bear to see you hurt.
Maybe that’s why you love me…
Because I’m weak
Because I’m in love with you
Because I know I’m not good enough…
Maybe we are meant for each other,
Maybe…
But I just don’t know.
I only know that I can’t bear
To see you hurt,
Especially not because of me.
