Poetry Pause

Clouds

The paper gets cloudy, soggy with tears
I made the effort to be with  you and buried my fears.
It wasn't enough and I began to see,
no matter what I did we could never be.

I wish I were wrong, could change your mind,
but all hope for that has been left behind.
I tried in vain, it just wasn't enough,
guess for me Cupid has run out of luck.

The tears fall heavier with each word I write,
blurring my vision 'til paper's out of sight.
I broke the one promise I made to myself,
I shouldn't have loved you, so hard like I fell.
