Farewell

Its time for me to move on,
My heart sings the lullaby of sorrow,
Thumping my soul with grief,

I flee from the cruelty of this world,
Only to find myself in your arms once again,

I spread my wings ready to fly away,
Only to find a thorn in my underside,
You pluck it out,
Set me ready to soar the sky,

But my passion overrides me,
Enabling me from letting go,
I’m holding on to the ashes of our love,

As flawless as you may be,
You’re wrong,
As impossible as it may be,
You’re wrong,

I see it in your eyes,
The dark brown witnesses of your pain,
Your mind playing a game of poker,
Pulling out the safe card,
Neglecting the instincts of your gut,

You lose,
Losing every dime you ever worked for,
You look at your disabled love,
A mass of hysteria overwhelms you,
You could’ve had it all you say,You could’ve had it all
