Laying next to you
It doesn't feel right
But this will be our last night
So, I turn away from you
You ask me to stay
I tell you, "I'm supposed to be alone."
You ask me why and I say,
"When you lose the one you love,
You always feel alone
And eventually, you realize
That's something you've known
So,maybe just maybe, I'm supposed to be alone."

You say you don't understand
But that's how it's been
You can't understand me now
Like you couldn't even then
But I lay here thinking
That maybe inside
That you have the same feelings
That you like to hide
And I die with your arms wrapped around me
Melting into your own dreams
Into a world where I'm with you
But nothing is like it seems

This final night
With you at the palm of my hand
And all you can tell me
After pouring out my heart and my soul
Is that you don't understand
And you don't..

You have rendered a haunting depiction of this one sided love affair...and the sorrow is painted in blood.  Excellent work here.

Feeling these feelings...when relationships don't seem to be working out, I wonder if I am doing something wrong, in some way pushing them away...I'm not saying that you are...I've been in a some one sided relationships...James

lol you must know me. While I have had a few relationships I feel more at home by myself. And most people don't understand. It's nice to see someone finally explane it so well.

Know yourself before you try to know someone else.

Wow.  With a heavy heart.
This is so sad, but very well stated.

This sneaks up
on a very powerful ending.

Good.
