(The title of the poem “X-Y-Z” show the end of the alphabets, this poem is about the end of a happy relationship.)
How I’d hoped we could live in
Harmony.
Happy, with less frowns and
Apologies.
Its such a pity that it’s not going to
Happen.
I’ve seen things end but I didn’t think
We’d end too.
It’s funny how I can fix everyone’s problems
But I can’t do the same to mine.
I’m starting to think that you wanted me to
Heal you so you could survive your past
Sorrows.
I love you, but you’re making it seem like
I’m in this alone.
I’m sorry, but I can’t carry on keeping things
Afloat.
My heart tied to your name and it can’t let go.
My head seeing your face and you want to go.
I’m not glue so I can’t keep us together.
If you want to stay you can, but I doubt that’s
What you want.
I never thought I’d say this but I never wanted
To lose you.
You seem stuck here so I’m just here to free you.
I love you, but you’re making it seem like
I’m in this alone.
I’m sorry, but I can’t carry on keeping things
Afloat.
So much for the promises I won’t be able
To keep anymore.
I’m thinking of the happiness I won’t get
No more.
In the end we all die alone, so I guess
I’ll get used to not being yours anymore.
I don’t wanna lie I wish we could start all
Over again.
Make you fall for me just about the same way.
They say it’s never too late, but it is this time.
I’ll miss you, now that you no longer want
To be mine.
I love you, but you’re making it seem like
I’m in this alone.
I’m sorry, but I can’t carry on keeping things
Afloat.
