I know you might think,
That I’m a failure and a destitute,
Miserable, little, bore.
But the truth is much more obvious,
You’re wrong.
You’re a failure to everything we held dear.
The failure to each other was you my dear.
So failure,
Look into a mirror,
What horrors do you see,
Waiting in those eyes?
I can’t help but feel sorry,
You’ll die young,
You’ll die alone,
And now the angels,
Will turn their back on you.
It’s a pity a life lost,
With such a brilliant mind.
I see the girl who ran away,
Too afraid to stay,
To face the pain,
But earn the gain.
Failure is you.
It becomes your every seam,
Leaks into every dream,
I can persevere,
For you my dear,
Failure is you.
You can prance around so lonely,
Never dance will you so boldly,
I’d hate to see,
What you realize was wasted in me.
Failure is you.
Dumped you were,
But not from me,
For you were the one,
Who dumped yourself.
On the side of the road,
You left your hope like a puppy,
Too irresponsible to take responsibility.
So what can I say,
If it pissed on your carpet in disrespect,
Well that’s just karma.
For the fit you threw,
At everyone who cared,
For something they didn’t do.
Sometimes I’m the face,
And sometimes I’m the fist.
But I wouldn’t beat you,
No, not like him.
But blow for blow,
I’ll go and go,
You couldn’t match me with a pen,
Perhaps you can go back to school again.
But I’m too bright to be dulled,
By a place that is kind to your face,
But robs from you every year to come.
That tuition isn’t free,
And neither was leaving me.
So now you have to pay.
With words read from a page.
Filled with rage.
Can you hear me now?
The failure is you.
You abandoned all ambition,
To run and hide away,
From everything you could have had.
I was the finger tips and you were the sand.
Trying desperately to hold on,
But you were already gone.
Too small to matter.
Now you are just eroding me away.
A beautiful statue gone dismay.
I don’t want you back.
How could I?
Can’t trust you not to leave.
Can’t trust you.
Never could.
You kept me at a distance.
Blamed me every time.
Acted like I always blamed you.
But no.
This was the only time.
And now that you know the truth.
You can’t handle it.
You can’t handle,
That failure is you.
But if it helps you,
To know,
A humbling thought to let grow on you.
You are not alone.
Because I’m a failure too.
Too bad it’s all because of you.
