Moving Forward

When you left, you took the warmth of the fire with you that I can’t deny. But my heart still beats, and like an Aloe tree, I didn’t wither, nor did I die. On reflection, it seemed you didn’t care enough, as you never did look back. I was devastated, and both my days and nights were either grey or black. Moving forward wouldn’t be easy with a broken heart, Each stride I take will be a struggle, but I will make a new start, Tears will fall, and I might be slow, but I won’t be deterred, and I won’t stall, For the strength deep in my shattered Soul will never let me fall. My memories of the happy times we shared will survive longer than just a while, They will accompany me through this fight, And as I reminisce about the days gone by, I will always smile, Cause I know after the darkness of night comes a new dawn that will shine bright. If I could, I would let you look into my heart to see every special moment is still beautifully intact, For me, it was time well spent, sadly you didn’t understand they were real and not an act. I will leave the past behind and although the road ahead might be long and hard I see beauty in moving on. So your offer of, let’s be friends, I must decline, and never again dwell upon. By Zyrool
