Goodbye To You, Hello To Self

New sheets Light a candle with that familiar smell Who can tell? I have come this far Setting up barriers to box myself To stop picking up the traces of when you left Emptied your cabinet, filled your duffle bag Pick it up when you’re ready I’m moving on to something empty Now I’m making new history. Let this room be a start of my new memory Pain is more when there is no more “if” I’m glad you left me hanging on a cliff No water to drown me Only a kaleidoscope sky to pull me up. Turn off the lights, let’s end this love I’ll sleep alone or with a stranger Even if that’s the way, still its better You always give me pieces I can’t build Now I’ll give you a space you can’t bridge Coz when I fall I fly. When you left, I didn’t die. I am a free soul you can’t defy.
