It's Over

Even saying 'It's over'
He looked beautiful
As he gave me back his key

I could smell his aftershave
As he walked away
With the central part of me

Acting like strangers
Brushing past each other
With discomfort and aching

Knowing, we, us
What we were, meant 
Was now lost in the lives we were breaking

The times he'd held me
Through traumatic echoes of life
Promising he'd never leave my side

Suddenly felt like lost wishes
I'd made as a little girl
All the while crying inside

I wanted to run to him
Beg him to forgive me
All I'd said, All I'd done

But knowing in my heart
He can no longer see me
Through the sadness I have become

Everytime I said I was sorry
Everytime I swore
Everything I tried to do

The black dog beat me down
'You're not good enough for him'
Thats why he's leaving you....
