Fresh Start

thoughts run rancid
hope dies down
heart screams
the fire for you
turns to fading ember
no love no compassion
memories of you die 
body aches from the site 
of you...
stomach turns upside 
down
hearing your name
i lose a sense of sanity...
i let you control my world
for so long
now its my turn to 
take charge..
took forever for 
me to say goodbye..
to take a fresh start..
and to live life my way
