Could it have been more than this

A jumble of lies and broken promises

Finding no comfort in each other's lives

Searing words used to cut our barely formed ties

Every secret shared, twisted and contorted to match the world created in your make believe land

False words spilled on the battlefield where you wanted to make your final stand

Your voice which was once a source for my delight

Now weaponized for your continued slights

Gone are the days I long to be where you are

We were never close, but still not too far

Years of regret cling to me like wet sand on a filthy beach

Wasted hours on someone who I could not  reach

Fatigue had finally set into my weary heart

I want you know how much I thrive now that we are apart

I don't care who you have become or what you do

I can live a healthier life without you
