The cost was us.

Sad and worried brain

Tired and drained

Overly serious and caught in thought

I smile far less than I ought

I try to laugh and enjoy life

But recently it has been pure strife

You wanted more than I could give

And I hope you will forgive

I retreated and hid in solitude

When I started to fall into this downward mood

I was trying to make things right

I pride my self on fighting the good fight

I could not let it be

Maybe that was the final blow for you and me

We started to compete with one another

Your requests and pleas for me to change began to smother

I lost my confidence and voice you lost faith and felt I was disinterested

I grow weary and distressed

Our fighting grew more frequent and intense

It was no longer possible to sit on the fence

I did not know the way for us to go

And my feelings I could not show

So came the time when we had to part

And in our own directions depart.

I am glad we could remain amicable

It has helped me remain stable

I am sad it happened as it did

And from you I hid

I felt unable to pursue my course fitting around you

I think you felt the same about me that I was not doing what you wanted me too

I will change my situation regain the, me I lost

I’m just sad that we were the cost
