At the end of our lives

Some days I wished I were good enough for you
That you would look at me the way I look at you

The day my imperfections were not all you could see
That would have been the day you finally loved me for me

You promised that you would always be there
That no matter what you will always care

Then my perfection was destroyed and my innocence torn
In a moment you forgot those promises sworn

When the time has passed and the beauty has faded
It’s too late to regret the love evaded

The money is spent the good health is gone
At the end of it you the one left alone

I've moved on and found a kind of happiness
Content in my choice…a simple bliss…

You've lost your chance and it’s over now
They say you reap what you sow

You hurt me so much and so many times
Someday you will be punished for those crimes

Perhaps it is now as you die a lonely death…
Taking my name in your last few breaths

Only now do you realise that we were meant to be
When I am the face that you long to see

I’m no longer young beautiful or carefree
The years have been cruel and kind and never stress free

But after the years have passed I forgive you
My love for you was always true

You weren't my happiness but you were my first love
You weren't my chosen one sent from above

You were the one who thought me to see
That the right one was always in front of me

He was the one who held me so tight
When I cried over you through the night

He made me see there was still good in you
When all I could think was how much I hated you

He made me realise that life doesn't end
It just throws you a curve ball, a turn and a bend

Today I realise I know for sure
I've finally attained full and total closure
