This is me swallowing my fears
Hands trembling as I carve deeply
Words which hide my feelings
Like clouds shielding the sun.

This is me saying goodbye to you
Breath hitching as ink spills
From my heart down my wrist
And into the word adieu.

This is me walking away
Turning the clock a decade in my head
Altering memories of smiles and laughter
Into barren land and greys.

This is me standing in front of you
As I bid you adieu.
