Then You Return in Tears for the dreams that never came true, despite how simple they were, and for all the times you tried without getting anywhere you cry for the person you walked the road with, only for them to leave you alone halfway through it. you cry over the broken pieces of your soul, watching them bleed before your eyes, unable even to gather them back together. you cry for everything you fought for, only to watch it slowly fade until nothing remained but a faint trace. you cry because you believed that all this exhaustion would eventually lead you somewhere worthy of everything you had given, and that if you tried harder, held on longer, none of your efforts would be in vain. then you realize that neither your love, nor your patience, nor everything you gave was enough. so you sit alone, looking at what remains of you through tear-filled eyes — not because you didn’t make it, but because you believed that getting there was worth all this pain.
