Posted this in Creative Corner, but thought I'd post it here too. I could have continued a lot more, but I'm completely drained at the moment. Kind of pointless to even write this...seeing as I'm not even sending it to her. LoL! Oh well. Thanks for reading!


I’m Walking Away


Some days are better than others
I try just to get through my day
While visions of you fill my mind
Everything reminds me of you in some way

I find myself walking alone
Cold and darkness is all that surrounds me
Answers to the questions remain unknown
Close my eyes and I’ll continue

I’m battered and broken
Lying on the floor
Envisioning your crimson anger
Like I never saw before

Burn all of the pictures
And everything that we would share
Close the door and walk away
I don’t even care

I know the pictures remind you of the past
All the fun that we shared
A painful reminder of the good times
Even if you don’t believe it, I cared

I never wanted to hurt you
The way you have done to me
I’m not going to be a pushover
I’m not the person I used to be

For months, I watched us drift apart
The tears would continuously fall
If everything ends this fast
Maybe we weren’t that close after all

I really thought I needed you
Thought I needed you to survive
I guess I didn’t
Cause for the first time, I feel alive

You think I want an explanation
Closure is what you call it, I don’t
You think I’ll call you on Christmas
Don’t worry, I won’t

Don’t send me a letter
Explaining “what and why”
My closure is very simple
Knowing this is good-bye

“I can’t handle you anymore”
Must have been your favorite thing to say
But you don’t have to worry
I’ll never call you again, I’m walking away

No more being blinded by an illusion
Of the person I thought you were
I’m leaving all of this confusion
To be better than I was before

I’m no longer feeling deceived
Cause I can see right through your lies
I’m beginning to feel relieved
Cause I know I’m finally free

You made it a habit to talk about ‘my problems’
Not only to your family, but mine too
Things I didn’t want anyone to know
Including things you know were untrue

You no longer have a hold over me
I’ve got both feet out the door
Closing it on what used to be
And I’m never turning back

I don’t regret ever meeting you
If nothing else, now I know
Exactly what it takes
To love and let it go

I’ll think of you from time to time
Just wondering how you are
The smiles and laughter
Will be a permanent emotional scar

I know I am to blame as well
I was far from being the best
I’m deeply sorry
For the times I made you mad and depressed

It might be hard to forget our friendship
As it appeared real and true
But it won’t be hard to forget the person
I never even knew

For all the rejected calls and emotional abuse
And all the times I begged you to stay
Now I finally realize it isn’t worth it
It’s my turn to walk away

I no longer have to wonder
I no longer have to care
I no longer have to wish
My ‘best friend’ was there

I’m giving you exactly what you wanted
You just lost your best friend
You finally get your wish
After 8 years, this is finally the end
