End of the Rainbow

My heart wants to love you 

but my spirit,

it just can’t take the pain. 

For the longest time,

I put no one above you,

not even myself 

but it’s time for a change. 

And we’re standing here

at the end of our rainbow,

a last attempt 

and you still say it’s my fault. 

But I can only bend until I break 

and I can only give until there’s nothing left to take. 

Down on my knees, I finally see the truth,

I can’t fix you. 

I can’t sleep for all the memories 

attacking me 

for the ways that we went wrong. 

Why couldn’t you 

just be the man that I needed

and loved someone

more than yourself? 

But I can only bend until I break 

and I can only give until there’s nothing left to take. 

Down on my knees, I finally see the truth,

I can’t fix you. 

And you’re sitting there 

reading every word I’ve written,

my last attempt 

and you’ll still say it’s my fault.
