Read this close, for these words I want you to remember me by.
No, actually, don't remember, yeah please don't even try.
These past two years were quite some time,
Although I can't recall when we were in our prime.
You did a lot for me, you helped me out.
I used to think you were my forever, & that now I doubt.
You said sweet things to me, but mean things too,
You said you loved me completely, but truthfully I never knew.
You seemed half hearted & unmotivated.
Because of many things, our love was complicated.
I don't regret being with you, though,
I feel like time was wasted, like I was pushed down below,
By some other thing that took priority over me.
There was something in the way, come on now, you have to agree.
Whether it's what happened in the past or some fear for the future,
A love like ours was tired, & for it we could not nurture.
And I hate myself for not hating you,
Because you've been so rude to me, of this nature I had no clue.
I meant it when I said I never want to speak to you again.
But I know the grudge has no place in my heart, for it will soon end.
A love like ours must not be forgotten.
Even though the love we shared was spoiled, it was rotten.
I will not try to remember us,
Because I know if I do I'll absolutely make a fuss.
I don't want my tears falling for you anymore,
The sadness I hold for you, I can not hold it much more.
I will break free from the blackness I'm wrapped in,
& I can thank you for teaching me in the end, I will never win.
I can thank you for the lessons I've learned,
But I will not thank you for this pain, I am cut, I am burned.
You are the result of my newfound serendipity.
Because you left, I will soon leave melancholy.
Thanks to you I will learn to be without black,
I will keep on my road, I will stay on track.
So thanks for all the things that we've been through,
& really, I'm glad to say I'm done with you.
