Goodbye

I've been left and I'm hurt, but I'm healing. It's complicated.

I've thrown out every sign of you
I trashed every last piece
The pain in my heart has been too much
I need to make it cease


For reasons I now understand
You left me standing all alone
And the memories, they overwhelm;
The tears threaten to roll


Yet, still I remain strong
Unbroken I shall remain
Yet, still I'm holding on
My love outweighs the pain


Of a greater companion I know not
Nor have I found a better treat
For love is gentle, kind, and patient
And yours made mine complete


Our differences outnumber the stars
Our goals vary with our desires
And of our obstacles and frustrations
We each, soon, did tire


And as my love prevailed
Yours commenced to wane
As our outcome became obvious
Nothing felt the same


With me, you can't be happy
And with me, you can't feel free
As I lick the wounds from another failed love
I pray, find peace, and let it be
