Debris

I stopped loving you today
All your memories packed away

Tell my heart that feels betrayed
But in good time even that will fade

The time with you wasn’t wasted
Bittersweet and honey laced

My mind remembers your embrace
Dreams of a future now debased

I’m much stronger than I thought
Better now, not overwrought

You never even felt distraught
Inflicted pain cost me a lot

I told you when you closed the door
That would be it forevermore

I told you what you had in store
But my pleas you did ignore

Now you’re hit with some debris
Wanting back what will never be

Remove the blinders you will see
I am doing what is best for me
