Farewell
For the past five months I’ve been trying to cope,
To deal with the loss of joy, of hope.
Now everything seems so dull and so fake,
And looking at you just makes my heart ache.
I’ve lost my best friend, the one I loved,
First nudged away, now pushed, now shoved.
I shared all my secrets, I bore my heart,
And now they’re what you used to tear us apart.
You were my queen, I gave you the crown.
My love burned too hot and burned us both down.
Now look where we are, worlds apart,
Forced away by a broken heart.
I tried my best to keep us together,
But now that we part, I’m more broken than ever.
I wish you well in all that may come,
And yet, for trusting you, I feel so dumb.
