Pendulum

Was it my fault or was it yours? We had our problems but I thought our love was more. You were always the adventurous type. While I always seemed to remain in place. You wanted to go out and live your life. Many nights away from our base. If I had only noticed your moist eyes shine. I would have been there to stop your time. If I had only pressed you on all your white lies. The desperation wouldn't have had to rise. If I had only intercepted you one of those nights. You could still be here with me in this fight. If I had only asked to join you one late night. A glimmer could've been preserved from your dying light. If I had only noticed the excess silence. I wouldn't have left you alone on your island. If we had only put a stop to the pointless violence. We wouldn't have had to be tired of this. If you had only reached out to me. I would have shown you that you're still all I see. If you had only confided in me. We wouldn't have had to let this anguish be. Everyday spent with her, I caressed her lovely whiskers. Every night I fought with her, it was in soft whispers. I ignored all of your subtle signs. Until.. You told me one final line.
