I don't know if I'm as strong as I think I am,

I don't know if I can stick to this plan,

I don't think I can wait for support,

Then watch the last of my heart deport,

I don't think I can cry one more tear,

Over everything we're missing here,

I don't think I can handle that door,

Opening to your face anymore,

I don't think you ever believed

In any of the love you had received,

I don't want to have hope for you,

Knowing nothing you've said is true,

Here I sit, cold, alone, and blue,

Knowing the life we had is through.

Interpret it how you will, I wrote it for my dad. I made it so that it can be seen from whatever view you want, whether a boyfriend, or a father.
