What You Deserve

Have I?

Have I failed you?

Have I been too little of something?

Too much of another?

The wrong kind of still others?

Are you truly happy?

And if so

am I part of the reason?

And if not

am I part of the reason?

In my own way I have tried

I have wanted to be

What you deserve

Which is far more the I can do

But yes I have tried

Especially lately

Wanting to be 

Hoping to be

Trying to be

Can you ever forgive

The awful times

When I let you down?

So many I know

So foolish I was

So intent not to be anymore

As we grow older 

Together

I am determined

To

To be

To be what you deserve
