I Thought

 

I Thought

 

I thought,

It was me that broke us apart.

 

I thought,

If I accepted all the blame,

Maybe you would come back to me.

 

I thought,

We could give this another try,

 

But times like this,

Makes me ask the questions,

“why?”

 

You don’t give me clear messages,

Are you playing games

With my heart?

 

I know,

I’ve hurt you,

But have you ever thought you hurt me, too?

 

You wondered why,

I was seeking somewhere else?

 

You can’t see how blind you are,

That I didn’t get what I really needed in you.

 

Now, that we’ve been apart,

 

I thought,

Being without you

was impossible for me to go on.

 

I thought,

Without your presence,

Would make me feel incomplete.

 

I’ve been on my own now.

I’ve been without your arms,

And found ways to love myself.

 

 

 

I thought,

If I opened my heart to you;

Maybe, just maybe you’d be the one for me.

 

I thought,

If I could try to love someone

For the first time,

Regardless of all the pain,

I’ve been through.

I wouldn’t have to search anymore?

 

I know,

I’ve made mistakes in this relationship.

 

I know,

I’m not all to blame.

 

Now, I know

We’re just not meant to be.

 

So, I might as well,

Just let you go,

Since you refuse to see me.

 

I thought,

Maybe we could at least still be friends,

But I don’t think

That’s even an option for you.

 

So, just drop off the key,

And start

Forgetting about me.

This must have been a painful write for you. In the 7th stanz you have somewhere I think you meant someone. Now I know
we're just not meant to be
so just drop off the key
the rest I think weakens the point and makes you seen like begging him. Only my opinion and still is a good write.
