Speed Demon
I'm writing this letter to say good-bye.
I'll admit this isn't easy for me, as you were my first love.
We've been together nearly every day for 33 years, and I
barely remember life without you.
When we were together I was able to forget my problems
and all my fears seemed to disappear. But so did my morals,
feelings and any self worth I ever had.
My depression was gone with your presence and you put a
smile on my face not even death could erase. We've seen
many die before us and you said, " Never look back " and
I didn't, until now.
I've had some of my best conversations with you, and words
just seemed to flow out of my mouth. You weren't cheap but
my love ran deep. I did anything for you, I lied, I stole, and
I cheated. Without you I couldn't move.
The more I gave, the more you took. You wanted my daughter,
my soul, my life, but I can't allow that.
So now I'm taking it all back and I'm moving on ...
Without you.
Go back to Hell Speed Demon, you are dead to me.
Forever.
