A short poem about a love that was lost
I wear a mask of bravado
To escape the pain
In the book of my life
You've left a big stain

I dab and I dab
To get the stain out
But there just isnt anything
that I can do about

This mess that I've made
The feeling of loss
My arrogance had a price
and I paid the cost

Now you've gone away
and there's not getting you back
You've gone and found a man
With the qualities I lack

I wish I had learned
These lessons before
You walked out of my life
And left me wanting more

Of the feelings I felt
When I was with you
I felt as if there was nothing
That I couldn't do

In victory and in loss
You were right by my side
But now the love you once had
For me has died

Maybe with time
A new love will grow
But I worry
That this pain will not go

Completely away
and I'll never heal
Fully from this injury
and the regret that I feel.
