The Better Half

Of what was lost, I shall not speak A beautiful past I shall not seek For I have grown, like you had asked Followed through with every task I shall not heed to a memory’s call I shall not feel, lest I slip and fall For I have forgotten as you had asked And followed through with every task I shall not question who I’ve become I shall surrender and not try to run For I have changed as you had asked And followed through with every task Now I am strong, as you describe And I am happy, you claim with pride Now I am perfect for you to own I am one of you, I’m not alone Now I shall not try to look inside I shall not yearn, nor laugh nor cry For I have died as you had asked And followed through with every task
