I believe In my heart
You're done with me
The future we planned
I guess will never be
The love we once shared
It is now all gone
And too soon for me
You will be moving on
If you ever cared for me
It's impossible for me to tell
You're out there living life
I'm here living in hell
You still smile everyday
While everyday I only cry
I was the only one damaged
When you said goodbye
"The heavy gates have finally latched behind you; the debt of your struggle is paid in full with blood and time. As you step through those golden doors, I offer you this parting gift: the quiet, shimmering realization that you are finally free. Go—and do not look back."
You didn't say goodbye when you walked out the door.
You didn't say you didn't love me anymore.
You didn't tell me what was going through your head.
I guess you thought it was better to leave some things unsaid.
You didn't say there was someone else on your mind.
You didn't say that I was just a waste of time.
You didn't tell me before you decided to go,
that there were some things you didn't want me to know.
So, I won't tell you that all I do is cry.
I won't tell you I miss you more as each day passes by.
I won't tell you that I wish I were the one instead,
to hold you close and whisper softly all those things left unsaid.
You'll no more know another man,
for if I can't have you, no one can
I’ll never forget when we first met
Fireworks lit up the dark night skies
As I held you tightly in my arms
I could see the love in your eyes
With you my world finally felt whole
I believed your love would be my last
Our life together was that of dreams
But all good things are never steadfast
It started with a little quarrel we’d have
Then in a flash our love had gone bad
Your smile had suddenly became extinct
And being with me only made you sad
Our fights were growing more intense
And all we did was scream and yell
That love that once pleased my heart
For us had now become a living hell
The woman I thought I’d love forever
And the one who I had made my wife
Has now become a distant stranger
Who is painfully no longer in my life
He is no longer in love with me.
His spoken words flesh caught like dull razors.
Churning pains toss me in raw seeped reelings.
I feel feather fragile as weighty aches
conflict and trip me upon foreign ground.
Heavy, my eyes are merely tear-weak slits.
God, in prayer I do ask, with mercy come
and ease my wrecked self with gift feels of numb.
We were never rivals
You learned about me later
But the choice was made
Long before it was vocalized
You were the obvious selection
I never stood a chance
It turned me inside out
Three words were met with two
And then with one
But now it's zero
And in the deafening silence
As I feel myself fade away
I have but one request
Take her to the moon, okay?
Your needs unmet and, too, mine equally
fulfilled,—I s’pose it’s best to leave this where
it stands.—what other course could feel as fair?
But deep disturbances in mon esprit,
increasingly violent unto me,
(as roaring winds and foaming omens) stir
tidal wave emotions without compare;—
breaking—in terrific fatality.
My heart adrift,—stranded soon on your shore,—
beats weak, throbs sad sobs, sniffles back such tears
of torrential regret...—and for what?
you?
Really, need I lament—this dullest score—
the abandon of your tempestuous fears?
No.,—if I capsize now, I never flew.—
Fallen.
Down into the cold dark morass.
Earthborn once more.
Discarded.
From the warmth of your secret fires.
Out of grace.
Into the wilderness.
Love no longer mine to give.
Nor yours to have.
Requiem.
Into a labyrinth scene.
With shades of your face sketched in reverting dreams.
My heart is full of pain
Because I made you cry
I promised I never would
That turned out to be a lie
I'm grateful I couldn't see you
Or the pain on your face
I'll count that as a blessing
That God showed me grace
Everything I said just worsened
And I could feel my heart breaking
Now you are having doubts about
The path this marriage is taking
I knew those words would hurt you
They never should have left my head
I'd give anything I could to take back
Each and every word that I said
Those words, they were like venom
Into the phone, then your heart
The only thing that they accomplished
Was tearing this marriage apart
Will this love that we share
Ever again feel the same way?
Will you trust me with your heart
The same as you did before today?
They are afraid.
They see the power I contain.
They tried to collar it
and control me so I would never see that power.
What they failed to understand
is the care and love
they endlessly received
was coming to an end
and with that failure,
they would bend the knee.
The bombs they dropped
turned my love to anger.
They tried playing victim.
They tried to change the script.
The day I stood my ground
they learned any love I had for them
would never be found.
They tried to crush my soul,
and replaced it with a searing pain.
I had to remember that pain I was seeing
was never mine.
It was the pain of the truth about them
and their power was fading.
Thanks to their treatment of my heart,
I learned from it all.
I have now become the one
who will make them fall.
one lone glove with so much power,
to split bold hearts and make lives cower
to crush the future with absent kiss;
the glove she left, did more than this.
don't ever come knocking
i closed that door
there's no turning back
i locked it shut
no denying you've gone too far
forgiveness might be possible
but forgetting absolutely not
it's written in the cards
you've had your chance
wasted your nine lives so
pick up your baggage and move on
i'm past caring but i'm wishing you well

Free, free, my love; You are free
to love as I love, or leave me.
Have I not nestled you in
every unbroken promise since
before the vow not to trust came
to fall beside another's name.
I love, love, love you. See?
I perceive it as destiny.
I folded in your Cheshire grin,
your tongue, a sword upon my lips.
Inside my soul, it is wrong. So wrong.
Praying still the night is long.
I will let you be released
first light in the morning.
Long ago since-memories of bliss
fade with each empty kiss.
You will walk away, my love
and so, to keep you, I give you up.
I hear you may be leaving.
No question does it pose.
My heart stirs not to grieving.
I can pluck another rose.
For if for friend or sanity,
'Tis the latter that I chose.
Please check the front yard lawn.
That's where you'll find your clothes.
