Abashed

Months and months gone by and all I have to show for it is a pair of empty hands

It's embarrassing to look back and realize I did all I could, yet you couldn't meet me a mere 20%

All the obstacles I faced never stopped me from trying to make you happy

Everything I do or did was just to see you happy

It's embarrassing to know how hard it was even in the beginning

Waking up every morning confused about if we were fighting or not

If I had it in me to keep this going

I still tried

It's embarrassing how you have me spill my gut onto paper, because I fear of making you upset

No I don't bow down to you, I just want to be the one to make you smile all the time

I'm embarrassed to not have known when to let go

You're embarrassing to me because I gave it my all, but you're naive enough to believe it'd be enough

For the longest time I've carried this on my back, but it takes two

You never understood that

It takes two
