All I Can Do

All I Can Do

A Poem by Tyler.mallett
"

All I can do is hope and pray. Isn't that all anyone can do?

"
This time it hurts worse than anything I've ever felt.
You've somehow gotten deep into my core, creating a personal hell.
How could you even begin to hurt a guy like me?
I'm already so low, and yet you stomped on me,
Pressing me further
Into the ground beneath your feet
You cheat, you beat, have a seat, and call it quits.
They say that secrets don't make friends,
So you must be lonely all by yourself.
And they say absence makes the heart grow fonder,
But I'm still sitting here decaying while I think of you.
And I can only hope and pray that you care
Because I haven't heard from you in what feels like years.
And I can only hope and pray that you're aware
Of how much damage you've done. The long nights, the tears.
I hope I run into you one day in public so we can finally talk.
So I can get some closure, and you can't hide or run off.
Darling, you were worth caring for, and I was the man for the job.
All I can do is hope and pray that one day again our paths will cross.
