The Realization of Goodbye

The heart is a vast ocean of memories,
remnants of things that once were.
A helpless face, and a shattered dream.
I long to recall the sweetest parts,
yet it just cannot be.
I would be shortchanging myself of rightfulness and truth,
and another lie would be weaved for you.
I go on from here, 
this ending page for us,
as you too become an expensive memory,
flung out into the hearts merciless ocean.
