I'm letting go of the dream that filled my heart
and a past I will no longer dwell in.
I don't know what drew me to you
and can never fully understand why I held on.
I always knew it was over
but told myself there was hope.
Did you really ever care?
Was I anything to you?
Why couldn't you think for yourself?
These questions, forever unanswered,
will haunt my memories
and create the basis of my restless nights.
You avoid my eyes as if they burn you,
exposing your naked heart
and the games that you play.
I gaze into the depths of your soul,
knowing your every desire
yet you push me away
without a second thought.
I was always there, but never sure why.
I will pick myself up off the ground
where you left me
to prove that I am stronger than you
and no longer feel the need
to stand by your side.
The pain is unbearable
as I walk away.
My eyes close
shutting out your power over me.
A single tear slides down my cheek
letting go of you
and a part of myself.
