Poetry: Fighting a losing battle

by Jennifer Henderson

Created on: October 19, 2009

I am fighting a losing battle

I was never supposed to win

And even if I had the chance

I wouldn't know where to begin

I admit to the many mistakes I've made

I'm sorry and I apologize

But I guess I could never rid the pain

When I couldn't even hear your cries

So now I sit here all alone

In the darkness of my gloom

And in my mind I let you go

While sitting silently in this room

And now you are just another soul

I have lost alike the rest

But as I loved you the most

Please remember I tried my best

I could never hope, believe, or trust

As you say are love's greatest needs

So now I will have to let you go

And suffer as my heart will bleed

I trapped you inside my misery

Please remember I never lied

I'll have to let you go now

But I could never say good-bye

I love you.
