Jun 2013
My car is parked, my bags are packed
Yet my heart chooses to look back
Facing the shadows of the past,
The ghost of a man,
And a love I shouldn't carry anymore

Should have seen it coming
But you kept me guessing
Until your lies became my truth
Still my heart burns for someone,
Apparently the wrong one

I told myself to let the story end
That my heart would someday belong to someone better
But when you said "Darling..."
It's a vicious little word that slays me
Keeping me from walking away

I came undone
It hurt me more to leave you
When all I wanted was to love you
Perhaps one day, I will be okay
Have the strength to finally end this

...just not today.
