A Little Darker

I tried so hard to be a better man, to walk away from the pain of a dying love. But to know she is still out there, forgetting me, moving on, maybe meeting someone new breaks my heart in two, three and four.

One last word or two, maybe she'll see the light? Maybe she'll come back to me? But no, an awkward conversation, polite refusal and its back to the feeling of a love unfulfilled, a love that was, could and should always have been magical, now trampled in the dust.

I would have done anything for her, but now I see it's over. Her mind is set and logic wins. Just another broken heart. Another statistic in the list of love related fatalities.

And so, one more light goes out, and the world is a little darker.
