I never knew

I never knew that loneliness could hurt,
But it does.
I never knew boredom could drive you insane,
But it does.
I never knew that four walls could look so hateful,
But they do.
I never knew that people would hate me for saving lives,
But they do.
I never knew I’d tire of my own company,
But I have.
I never knew I’d cry myself to sleep,
But I have.
I never knew freedom meant so much to me,
But it does.
I never knew loosing you would hurt so much,
But it does.
And I never knew that I loved you,
Until you were gone.
And I never knew we had such a small time together,
Before you were gone.
And now it’s too late,
It’s always too late.
And all of my tears,
All of my time,
Won’t bring you back to me.
Because I never knew,
That forever was so long.
So long without you.
