Finality
How oft had I slipped in life,
Sliding into slimy oblivion,
Until my spirit was crushed
Almost beyond repair.
Yet I learned the hard way
To fight back and win.
To see the truth in your mortal deceit
To admit you do not deserve
The compassion and lust that
You crave so much for.
You hide behind long faces
And mimic with your shaking hands
As if you're in despair;
Misplace your voice with floods of sorrow
To hide your ugly nature of abuse.
Stop this illusion, fly away from me
Seek other pastures,
For I cannot abide your cheating tone,
Or the deception written on your face,
Not anymore. Must I succumb to you?
Now I am whole, alone and worried
But am determined to survive your loss.
It's hard I know to linger
Into the lonely, dreadful, sleepless night.
To wait for the promised dawn of a new life,
A dawn that seems so far away.
But I'm determined to wait.
For when you're gone I'll find asylum
In peace and harmony and truth
And live the simple life I had once treasured
Once more I'll smile and laugh
But I shall love no more.
