Not Good Enough He Said

Not Good Enough He Said

By: Tyler Ross

I know you oh so well

But I don’t exist to you, I can tell

We talk some, but never too long

I sit alone singing sad songs

Give and take, but you can’t relate

To me that is, but to him its great

You smile on when I’m by your side

He stands still and you stay satisfied

You dream of sharing your heart, but instead you share your bed. The one of true desire looks on waiting, while you settle for hurt and get mislead.

Bring me your glass

It’s sprang a leak

A metaphor for him

Or is that too concrete?

I tried my best to keep you in my sights

But you just drank on when you know it wasn’t right

Does it hurt you knowing we never happened?

Does your headshake, when you think of how we lived?

From gentleman to sincerity

My hand was out, but you buried me

Under some thoughts never quite clear

You moved along and left me here

Not good enough

Scratch that

I now see in the clear

Move along dear
