Perspectives

Original date: 4-30-09

What I see when I look at you
The pain, the faults, the terrible truths
Things that make me want to hide
Things that make me die inside

What she sees when she looks at you
The good, the sweet, and what you do
Things that make her so happy
Things that are fooling all but me

As indecision tortures her soul
She breaks free of my hand's hold
I wish I knew what's best for her
As she lets go, I ask if she's sure

But now she has you and now she smiles
And I'd like to run a thousand miles
To break away from how I feel
To wake up and find that this wasn't real

But when I fall asleep at night
Inside my head is a terrible fight
In the days, I've asked all along
What is it that I did wrong?
