There is no blood between us.

We were not fire and we were not fireworks.
We were not whirlwinds or hurricanes,
we were not storms or lightning or free falling through thunder.
You were a lesson I needed to learn, and I was a dream you needed to leave behind.
Well, I have lived our lies long enough and you have learned to swallow my stark realities
and neither of us really wanted to hold on to prayers of pretend.

And this means goodbye.
I have caged all my monsters and now I keep them in the boxes underneath my bed.
These are the words I have used to cage them.

|| Closure.
