Maybe

Just a poem about love lost...

And maybe this space is all I need.
Maybe without you I can finally breathe.
It's not that I don't love you anymore.
I just don't love who you seem to be.
It's not that I don't want to give you everything.
I just can't watch you take all of me.
Maybe in another life we could be so much more,
but it's this life I've watched you throw away.
And maybe I could push all this pain aside,
but I'm tired of being the one to change.
It's not that forever was too long.
I just can't stomach any more lies.
It's not that you never cared.
I just have no more tears to cry.
Maybe more than anything, Love--
Barely beating, but not broken
I'm afraid this heart was never yours...
