Realise

I thought I’d lost you
But now I realise
I never had you
To begin

I thought I’d found you
But now I realise
The truth behind
That endless 

Aching

Gurning 

Grin

I thought I’d won you
But now I realise
Sometimes it’s better
To lose a fight

Than it ever is

To win.

“Sometimes it’s worse to win a fight than to lose.”
– Billie Holiday
