It's time I said Goodbye

Thank you for being there.
You were with me, when I was alone.
And I felt hurt; when a single ray
or sunshine or hope never shone.

You made me feel alive,
when I felt like I was dead.
When I couldn't get over anything
that happened before, or was said.

You were there, and never left.
You saw me bring myself down
till I was low, almost beyond repair,
and it's true, i tried so hard to smile.

Nobody knew I was afraid.
or hurt, or sad. And every night,
before on a soft pillow, my distressed head laid,
I'd have you, and only you for company.

You never left me. Oh no.
You were the only one in my heart,
stopping me from any love i could show
on any other being.

But now it's time we set ourselves apart
and you leave your chamber in my heart,
that I let you leave scars in, and poison.
I won't forget you, sadly, even if i wanted to.

But oh! It's time I left the past, and you with it.
It's time that I don't welcome you
with open arms when you knock on my door.
It's time I lived without you.

I thank you for being there, but the deal is done
and you've left me with wounds undone.
Please don't remind me, just let it be.
Hopefully, a future devoid of you, I'll see.

A while ago, I restarted my life again,
And made new choices and did new things.
But you came as flashes, maybe you're
feeling rejected. I'm sorry i can't be by your side
the way you were by mine,
But I guess now you'll have felt what i did,
And you will experience yourself as you are- PAIN.
