Since You'Ve Been Gone
Since you’ve been gone.
I lost you…
Died within to reform a better me
Consoled my fears to become a better me
Hid my tears to show a stronger me
My feelings dealt with
I no longer write to please
My words a sharp jab never to appease
I changed…
Never been approved
Never been achieved
Never been unleashed
My heart in chains never to feel
Never been tamed
Never been construed
All the negatives turned to positives…
Numb to my feelings I still write to be free
My words a death-wish to your prominence
A subdivision to a lingering dominance
You succumbed to their lies
Certified your hopes to fake cries
Love is not what you seek no more
A clean slate…
No more destiny or luck to consider the term “fate”
New and improved
The past-a-fortress built within
Dear old me, goodbye…
