You Are Gone

Why should I care Would it make a difference if you were here Your choices led you to where you are An ugly decision that put you behind bars Years go by You are slipping away The memories are fading I am losing more of you as days go by I am losing hope I feel guilt and then I just want to cut Every time I lose grip The tears over flow I fall to the thought of the abuse you put me through I stop in my track and realize letting you go is the best choice for me Moving on Finding freedom in a new life Letting go and being able to be at peace with myself In a life that is letting me breathe I do not have to be controlled anymore I do not have to fear my life I can have happiness in a world that is not so chaotic anymore I can walk away and find hope in beauty and the inspiration of a new world
