Buried

What do I say?
On this cherry day
At my own funeral
Where I execute and burry
The Burdon I once carried
Where I let go 
Of the life, I’ve faithfully married

Rest in peace woman of excuses
Who endured others abuses
That never demanded an apology
Or handed a lifeline to rescue me
I put you to rest

Ashes to ashes 
I bury the lashes
From the wombs of untruth

Sayonara 
Beautiful Liar
Femininity…Of the enemy
I bid you goodbye

Au-revoir
You coward
The regret, guilt, and remorse 
Has run its course

Bon voyage 
Weakened frailties
That reigned champion in the lifelong fight of
Me VS Me

Grim Reaper 
you can keeper
She was a stronghold
I never needed her

The sorrow of my soul
I am let you go
So that I can fly
