Wasted

With you I have known,

Unbound happiness,

With you I have felt,

The deepest hurt,

With you my hopes,

Have lived and died,

With you,

I have found my dreams,

My world.

I don't know where,

I stand today,

And whether,

Your heart, has gone astray,

We have grown apart,

Over lost time,

My mind pushed

You away,

My thoughts,

Clutched you tight.

I have given up,

I have crumbled down,

I have seen the truth,

I have broken the rules,

Nothing helps,

Nothing calms,

So I accept,

I have no doubts,

I am wasted,

With you,

Or without.
