Pales in Comparison

Inspired by a real-life conversation 

PS: This is not ChatGPT 

----------


I've been beating myself up lately

And I know it's only you who can understand me

Not because you've walked in these shoes 

But because my heart still wanders back to you


Your silence leaves an echo

And in that echo, my mind ruminates 

My thoughts spin like they're at a disco 

Dancing until buried feelings germinate


I hold up the scale and watch it tip

Its balance swaying, ready to dip 

The right side weighs heavy on my heart 

The left side pales in comparison from the start


I ask myself, "What if?"

What if I'd been more assertive

Risking it all because you're worth it

What if my actions had spoken louder than fear

Holding you tighter, keeping you near


I guess you'll always be

The one who got away from me

Or maybe there's still a chance

For what we never got to be
