Worth
 
 

A wish wanting to come true,
But the nightmare grants it.
I feel empty inside,
With no one to fill me.
Thoughts roam and peak,
Poking to forget a loving memory.
I stop, but my emotions refuse.
I hate the feeling of regret,
But it sticks there,
Like a bug stuck in the black widow's web.
No death is more important,
More necessary,
Than the murder of our love.
But you felt it and turned away,
Your shadow left behind, leaving me in the dark.
I love you more than before.
I don't know how and I don't know when it happened.
It just did.
Sorry is the one word entering.
The unknowing tunnel is up ahead of us now.
What will happen next is questioning.
And I hate to guess,
But in the end,
One question should enter your mind.
Was it really worth it?
To tear it apart,
To whip my heart in two.
Adding another brick to my wall.
To watch me cry and run away.
Do these thougths enter your mind,
Propelling you for action,
Or do they make you wonder in satifaction.
Smiling in peace.
While I grab hold of what's left,
Dust scattered in disarray.
But if you were to come back,
Without a mournful thought to what was said.
Then I will turn, turn away,
Leaving my shadow blocking your view.
