You never understood
that I could’ve
that I would’ve
that I should’ve.
But I couldn’t.
‘Cause you wouldn’t,
you couldn’t, or didn’t.
And then I didn’t know
whether I could,
should or needed to.
Whether I shouldn’t,
whether I mustn’t.
But why should I care?
There is no love,
just prove of love.
And now,
I’m letting go.
Giving to the sea
the power to erase
what didn’t grow,
what caused all the trouble.
For a while,
at least.
Let her bring to the shore,
the pearls shining again
tied in a bracelet
that anyone could wear.
