Good Bye Lover

If ever I knew then just what I do now Never could you be allowed to come to me And cause me pain, loss, and misery. I would not have fallen a victim of your love Or known the rushing feeling in my veins. You always kept me singing and dancing To have your love I kissed and waited, Feeling off of what once was apart of me You kept me missing and wasting endlessly Just so I would never ever go and leave. Giving in was so damn fast and easy. More and more losing my strength everyday Swerving off my life, thinking I was cool Fooling me into believing you ever cared. Risking everything and losing it all You drove me insane, crazy for you. Always was I craving the way you made me feel, Until one day I caught myself slip, Wanting my life to go on, needing to live. I realized I'd better get off the rig. I threw you out my car window Without stopping I drove away. Seeing who you really were, the pain you brought Caused me to vomit, finally I saw Your evil ways and my mind is now clear.

Hi Linda, unfortunately, sometimes it takes a while before we realize that a relationship is toxic; but when we finally do, we know it's time to leave and never look back! I love this insightful, powerful piece! Well done and a 7! Hugs. Pandita
