Goodbye

I open up your letter,
as i sit under an oak tree, the one where we first met,
the one where i write my poetry.

I start to read what you wrote as each word runs through my head,
At the same time I remember the last things you had said.

so let all the days and nights,
we had in each other's arms,
let the light shine around us,
let our palms kiss, palm to palm...

I see where it sais you love me, and we'll never be apart,
Why didnt we stay together, why did it even start.

my eyes were always open,
but still i never saw,
that the cloud that lay before us,
it made to bigger scars..

i thought about us ending, and why that was the best,
and i still dont know that answer to put my head at rest.

I've seen you back a few times now,
I've known the icy shame,
i felt the blades set on your hands,
you cut me deep, I'm hooked..

My heart continues to beat but it feels like it will die,
But i am moving forward and my eyes no longer cry.

So if you see me standing,
If you see me by your side,
Just remember im not there for you.
I'm there to show you I'm alive..

Its my turn to move on, and find someone better,
and to finally let go, and throw away your letter.

I can let go i swear,
but this violet ink,
it makes me want to keep it,
this pretty letter close to me...

But no more unwanted crying,
Or another inconsiderate lie,
its my turn to look back,
look back and say goodbye...
