Just Me

We thought
we could do it
we thought that
maybe if we just
gave up we would
be okay that it wouldn't
matter that no one would
care that no one would notice
that no one would say we couldn't
do what we wanted and we thought
so wrong, so terribly wrong, giving up
was not the way to go, in fact, it only made
matters worse, we could have been something
bright and beautiful, we could have shined brighter
than what we know as the sun and the people around
us didn't say anything, they just watched us fail and I wish
we never left, I wish we just held our ground and stayed strong,
but no one can change it now, and we have all these pieces to pick
up and no one offers to help and it's just us and I realized after all this
time there is no us, there's just one person, just one, me, myself, and I.
