Failure

"I actually have no idea where this one came from, completly out of the blue! :) Excited to see what you all think about this one :) "

Failure
_____________________________________

It is over

This time my words won't mend her

and I think I told her

It was forever, but I don't remember

Now that I'm sober

and back in a reasonable state

It´s too late

I guess it´s been too late for a long time

So many have lost faith in me

Didn't realize it´s gotten this bad

What was it out there that I wanted to find?

Earn another dime

While losing what I already had

It is over

Finally I´ve become a little wise

Out of the blur

But it´s harder to look the truth in the eyes

I´m finally present

and my words don't slur

But all those years I spent

I used to mean so much to her

But it´s been too late for a long time

I´ve hurt here too many times

and you can't erase the past

Even if you apologize

There are scars because of me

Because I didn't wanna be

A failure

Now look at me

That´s what I always were

You just don't stop getting better, do you? This is a very powerful piece, I love it! Also, these lines:

"What was it out there that I wanted to find?
Earn another dime
While losing what I already had"

Strong lines which make you think. Great job, like always! :)

Very strong, powerful,emotional, moving and meaningful write hun.
this was brilliantly penned.
I love the way you wrote this one out and the picture fits it perfectly.
Sad and touching this tale about a man that let down the one person/hes one love that meant the most to him.
A story about failure and regret.
I guess he took her for granted, and now he knows it to late to get her back.
I really enjoyed this read hun as i said brilliant!

Now, Miss Norway, you got me again! ;)

Am so pleased to be on your scented pages again..and believe me your still as best as awesome as ever you've been. I like this poem, I've figured out some depth of the heart of a man who wanted to regret but if he does then he'd be a failure but it's true, neither he does wanna regret nor he wants to be a failure so, he's confused because his mind's taking him away to the world of pain and heart's calling him to release the words so, he does. You've here plotted a very common concept, it's related to humans's lives. A man always does make sin and fall down and when he does realize what he done's wrong, he regrets but here in this concept you've given a new direction to this poem..here what all he wanted to do is "Now look at me, that's what I always were!" ;)

Beautiful poem, Miss world. Well, now believe me, even you gotta believe in me that you've been much better than before. I can feel this feel through your new stuffs.

Keep writing, Miss Norway! :)
You've been my best and fav. writer ever!
