A Tragic Beginning

Wake up to an alarm

Heartbeating a mile a minute

And back to bed

You sleepy head



Wake up once again

Forget where you are

And where you've been

A beautiful mistake

Is all you'll take



We knew this wouldn't last

So I really don't know how it even got this far

Driving in a car

I knew this 'love' thing couldn't be true

Not not with you...

Not getting far



I hate to feel hurt after I made another mistake

I hate to know you are still dreaming of me

I want nothing more than to be out of your life

But I'm drawn back, so back to the knife



You wanted a good one

So you got it

A life worth living well, at that

I want you to get to be a better person

I want you to get to be someone I'll never forget



Run, run, run with the energy

Don't give it up, don't even look at me

I drive by only to see how you are doing

Forget the past, forget the feelings...a memory



I hate it how I hurt you in the long run

I hate how the short-run ended up to be too long

I hate the way that I am hating how I'm feeling

But I really hope that you are doing well



I pray to God that you are doing well

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Don't you just hate when you start something knowing you can't finish it...but you get so caught up in it that it eats away at your heart?  This is about knowing that a relationship wouldn't last, but I went through with it anyway with the best intentions in mind...but all-in-all it hurt us both in the end...Hopefully that will never happen again C,C, G, and S...
