Shaking, I bid my last Adieu
To the one who has haunted my dreams
For a little over a year.
I say my peace and bow sarcastically.
I recall all of the unnecessary pain you put me through
And cringe at how it could have ended.
How many times since we've met
Have I contemplated the worst
(or rather the best)
way to end?
How many times since we've met
Have I taken your abuse
With the blink of an eye?
Blind to what you were doing
Blind to your manipulative ways
And your callused words
Thick and ridged
Slamming into my ears, making me tear
And now this is my emancipation
"I am done!"
Done I say
I am free
Free from the blaze you used
To set my world on fire.
And I've always had a bucket of water,
But now I've developed the courage
To use it.
