Saying Goodbye

How I have loved you for nothing at all
With wild hopes you'd give me all you offered
Love is the only cure for feeling small
Am I to write the life left unauthored?

Promises of comfort on couches kept
And peaceful sleep in your arms beneath stars
To wake with the earth, grown cold while we slept
Why couldn't you save some warmth to have as ours?

I tried to find meaning inside of me
Tried to slip it off others sneakily
Stealing meaning from pant pockets at sea
My hands in my heart, grasping at nothing

How you have loved me, I know it was tough
Though I needed more, you weren't enough
