Not Good Enough

Posted by James Browning on

In the end I was not good enough for you. You used to say it wasn’t true, but in the end you believed it. You grew up rich. I grew up poor. You have a career. I have a job. You’re from the city.  I’m a farm boy. You said what your family thought did not matter. But it did; didn’t it? R.B.

I’m sorry for not being good as you
I’m sorry for only being me
I’m sorry for not being good enough, its true
I’m sorry for letting you see
I’m sorry for letting you down
I’m sorry for not making you smile
I’m sorry for every reason to smile, I give three to frown
I’m sorry for not making it worthwhile
I’m sorry for not making this work out
I’m sorry for having this end
I’m sorry for filling you with doubt
I’m sorry you had to pretend
I’m sorry not being better than I possibly can
I’m sorry for not taking you off of my shelf
I’m sorry for not being a good enough man
I’m sorry for being myself

By the Water’s Edge

Posted by James Browning on

I’m so sorry I screwed things up. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there for you. I’m so sorry I broke your heart. I’m so sorry I left you. I’m so sorry I had to make the worst mistake of my life with you. I wish it had never happened. D.S.

Sitting by the waters edge
I now stare at a reflection
of a broken man.
A heart forever filled
with my love for you.
I cry lonesome tears
with a mind battered
and bruised by losing you.
Every day has become
so hard to bear, as I
search inside
for a reason to smile.
