I really tried loving you.
With all of me.
It's just,
You were too far
For me to reach.

It wasn't even the physical distance.
We were worlds apart.
I couldn't even read your eyes.
And they were so beautiful.
And they were so hollow.

Everytime you smiled,
It felt as if you fought battles.
Some outside and rest inside
And was it a marvellous sight.
And it hurt watching.

Your touch was so warm.
Unlike your words.
They were empty,
And did they echo.
And was it soothing to your soul.

Yet.
Yet there was something missing.
You were just to numb.
To care enough
To love back.

So I left.
And I regret
And did it scar me for life.

I swear.
I tried.
