Last Farewell

Last Farewell

You've let your pride swallow you whole.
Is it that hard to admit you were wrong?
I should've known that loose lips sink ships,
and now I'm singing the same old swan song.

Would it bother you if I stopped caring?

As much as I claim that I'm okay,
I do still care as much as I did that day
that you said I took your breath away...
I wish everything were still that way.

Over 17,520 hours, and I can still feel the decay.

I hold it all in sometimes,
so much, that I almost explode.
I shudder to think of things that were.
Please! No more trips down memory road.

I wish to go back to the days where I was floating.

If I could burn the past for us
and scratch away the pain,
then maybe we could start anew...
or, are my thoughts insane?

A potential wonderful, corroded by notorious lies.
An eternal sadness, glazed behind our honey eyes.
Every time I stop to remember you, my heart dies.

It's not possible for you not to care.
True love confused by the foolishness of youth.
An unfinished jigsaw puzzle with no time to spare.
Get over your fears and tell me the truth.

But, I refuse to beg you.
I will not be your little lap dog,
waiting patiently for you to come back home.

I'm running away.
Goodbye.
