Departure - My Love Part Vi

I looked at you with resentful eyes Blinded by the foggy lens that covered my vision Once a sweet angel, I believed, had now blood studded horns Whose managing grin and flaming soul corrupted my decision For years I believed, fate would set afire your love Eventually becoming one, together we would fall It hurts when the words inscribed in one’s heart Are so obvious, yet their dear can’t see them at all Months ago, the truth I’d realized Yet unable to absorb, deluded by what my mind had constructed And to deserving happiness, I had neglect Kept a lock on my love, the path to my heart obstructed I pass by the cherry blossom highs, who’d regained eternal silence The tiny tulips; lifeless they now seem, their words I resisted For strong was my mind, enough to let go, enough to pray Let we, grow so distant, I’d forget you’d even existed With a final taste of the bitterness you’d left me in I walk, then sprint, fall on my knees, get up and walk again And give into the earnest embrace of my own self And cuddle up next to my own warmth, until I burn the pain Weep for the last time, before I never take your name again In angry memories of your sweet past, I dwell To detain my departure, I couldn’t do For the longer I stayed, the more I hated myself And for the last time, I wave goodbye to your sweet Yet repulsive visage, no longer I’d muse nor grieve My heart began anew, another may enter and you May depart, or so my heart wished to believe
