Not Mine
I woke up every morning feeling sickened
We’re tired, dull, and scared now that it’s quickened
We feel the end coming
You and I still running
Never will accept that we are through
And you are
Breaking things, we never tried to fix them
I’m kinda dumb compared to all your wisdom
Now I’m pacing through the hallway
Crying always, all day
I don’t think we’ll bring back what was lost
Our hope, our time
Your love, and mine
We poured our souls out
Is this a sign that
Even though we gave everything
I’m ending up with only
Memories of you and me
Tainted by our apathy
I’m breaking down
Hoping someday we’ll be fine
Now that you’re not mine

Nice! This reads like a song with a great universal theme. I like how you incorporate rhyme without letting it get in the way of your message.
Best lines: “Memories of you and me/Tainted by our apathy”
A moving and heartfelt reflection on the pain of lost love. I particularly enjoyed the line “memories of you and me tainted by our apathy”
Yes, on that line, and the way the close circles around to the title, too well felt.
