A Confused Mind

I’ve never met anyone like you
I am amazed by you,
Yet confused by you too

When you speak, I am in awe
In awe of the things you know
Your knowledge of life is outstanding

You seem so strong, so confident
You stand in front of me as a man
A man who is never beaten

Yet when I look in your eyes, I see different
I see pain, love, anger, hurt, devastation and desperation
Your love of life has lost you everything

Life has lost its value, its worth
You can’t cope with the guilt of the pain you have caused
You in your stupidity have brought destruction

You have destroyed the one thing you valued
The one thing that made you who you are has gone
It’s gone because of one stupid moment

Why did you let it happen?
Why did you let the truth collapse?
If you’d just admitted defeat
Everything and everyone would still be together
