I Tried

What i did for you, people wouldn't call extraordinary
What i gave up for you, one might say is completely ordinary

What i left for you, some may see as expected
But what i got from you was nothing short of regret

What i gave to you was my journey
All i asked of you was your honesty

What i did for you was everything
And all i asked of you was for loyalty

What i left for you was family
But what i got from yours was a feeling of our love being a tragedy

What i gave to you was my body, imperfect
What i did for you was vulnerable and dirty

And all these things
And all my broken pieces
And all this time
And all my shattered dreams
And all these these hopes
And all of my tears

Ended with failed expectations and wasted years

I always find it to be brave when sharing the hurt because you have to let your guard down and just say screw it! It's therapeutic to let it go at least in my experience. Bottling it up can lead to bad things. I admire the passion and how you let it rip. It's that persons loss. Heart on a sleeve writing. Great work!

You've painted sharp, vulnerable tones of pain here. I know the place that these kinda thoughts boil in... I wish you strength, healing, and guidance. We can always walk out of those dark places. Great work.
