I Will Stand No More. Poem by daniel laurence

After it all I didn't know you.
You didn't know how far I'd go
I didn't know how far you'd been
I wish I'd had noticed
You hid it all so well
And yet I still feel I should have seen

Those long nights where I'd hold you
I loved you and always will
You loved me or so I thought
You loved many others
And I feel selfish
If I'd shared I may still have you

I want someone to tell me it was my fault
At the end you'd changed to much
I should of known sooner
I had all the signs
I had passion and respect
I didn't have enough
I could never give you enough love

I stood against it all with you
The drugs, the lying, the cheating
I almost feel selfish thinking of myself
But what can I do now
I thought I'd caught it
But I leant you can't stop your determination

You beat me you win
You've got what you want
You get the attention you crave
The different guys, the different drugs and the good times
Do as you will the battle is over
I'm defeated and my happiness is somewhere I can't go

I can only say goodbye
I will see you in my memories
In the good and the bad
I hope someone can give you what I couldn't
And I hope you can love them like I did you
When your love for me was your biggest lie

Nehemiah built a stone wall and it stood
Mine slumped like clay in the rain
But il stand defiant against it all
No one can tell me I didn't try
I just hope you get what you want
And you live happy before I die.
