October.

by @simpathi

It was only last October When you finally swept away Any traces of our friendship And you buried its remains It triggered my escapism So I could hide from nights of pain I did not make the best decisions But at least I was okay I was reliant on the meds So I would never have to face The truth about our friendship That was so clearly a mistake And when you left for Houston, It was then when I would break I could not accept my reality Which was keeping me awake And the park where we would play To pretend that we were eight We knew we looked like idiots But together, we were safe But I realized I was in captivity From the memories of that place I was interrogated by inner demons And I found myself in chains So that ship has finally sailed Her cruise had left today People move on and priorities change... When you wish they'd stay the same.

I just wrote this yesterday. I have a time moving on from others as they often move on from me.
