it's not working

[gothic_lion]

I think I broke it.
I does not respond like it once did.
I was too hard on it.
I did not care enough.

My lesson has been learned.
Balance is required in all things.
The trick is to find it.
Finding that spot between too much and not enough.

Last time I cared too much
Last time I held it too close
Last time I became jealous
Last time I could not trust

This time I cared too little
This time I kept it away from me
This time I was indifferent
This time I could not trust

Both times I lost
Both times I learned
Both times I grew
Both times I continued on

Now I see what I let go
I know the princess that is there
She does not look on me as she once did
Our conversations have become fake and cold

Again I strove to win her affections
She choose not to open the gates to her heart
Each trial I took, was not enough
Every gift I gave, was of no value

Last time I cared too much
Last time I held it too close
Last time I became jealous
Last time I could not trust

This time I cared too little
This time I kept it away from me
This time I was indifferent
This time I could not trust

Both times I lost
Both times I learned
Both times I grew
Both times I continued on

It is time for me to find a new lover
I loath the search that I have before me
I know what I want and what I expect
I have high standards and will not give them up

Though my life will take me far away
I still have in my thoughts of love to come
When I return from my travels in the world
Who will be there waiting, wanting, expecting my affection

Both times I lost
Both times I could not trust
Both times I learned
Both times I could not trust
Both times I grew
Both times I could not trust
Both times I continued on
