I Move On

It's in the pursuit of love that I lived Trying to gather the simple pleasures in which I believed Looking for little niceties and seemingly insignificant gestures Like tiny flowers blooming in our life's pastures When we met my life was a confusing maze Reflections of my past actions, a dizzying haze No flowers bloomed, no birds chirped Only thorny bushes and a world warped You helped me stand in your own way But it was your own feelings that held sway Over your decisions and handling life's nuances To you what was important was your convenience Everything was measured against your wishes' yardstick My feelings were discarded and I was left to lick The wounds caused by your words,action, and your ego And you would always want me to let go To let go, to move on, to be strong While it was for just a tiny smile that I would long For me strength gained a new definition Strength became the absence of another option So I move on battered by this destructive storm Of events in my life, a part of which you form Not understanding why I ended up in this situation And you don't find it convenient to give an explanation
