We didn’t make it
It wasn’t because we didn’t love each other
nor was it because we didn’t try
We were on different paths
We forced those paths to meet
and it destroyed us
There was no talking,
only that thick silence as
you tried to reach me
and I,
I tried to reach you
But there was no compromise
We were both living separate lives,
instead of trying to figure out how to be one life
Together
There was no relationship,
only anger and bitterness
that grew
and grew
In the end,
love wasn’t enough
Your kiss didn’t save me
My words couldn’t save you
You went one way and I,
I went another
Maybe one day our paths will cross again
But until then, at least we can say this:
We tried
-K
