Relived

i remember your eyes
looking back to my soul
just do what I’m told
	how empty the feeling
giving youth away
think of what I’m trying to say.
see the room
stale drunken breath
will I pass the ultimate test
unknowing tasks ahead
planned fate in shallow roots
produced a unfeeling shell
surrounding true gifts.
Years pass by
living a disposal existence
reality facing being used
i recall your destain
once Love set its place
recovery attemps foiled
guilt coersion 
	became useless
yet I forgive
	not forget
relives regret.
	as I part ways
completely
opening my heart
its time for a new start.
which is exactly what you gave
	the beginning
yet it is my choice
	Love makes me rejoice.
for the end of an era
yet the world will know
	Exactly what you treasure.
