Long Gone

No, I will not savor your every word
Nor will I cherish every moment we share
I will not hang on the edge of your presence
Or wither away in your embrace
I refuse to look you in the eyes
Or dry the tears that fall from them
Because the last I remember, was it not I who brought them about?
Was it not I who caused you "excruciating pain"
I have finally approached my nerve's end
I give the credit for my quick arrival to you
But nothing more will you recieve
You deserve a life of emptiness and dissapointment
You are not capable of holding my head
Above these drowning waters
You are unable to shield my heart
From betrayl's infuriating motives
I am tearing down our once beautiful threshold
One wooden plank at a time
Setting fire to it all
Watching the reflection of its glowing flames
In my unrested eyes
Then selling the ruins for face value
Let the wind blow the last remnances of ash away
Look on as I make a mess of my life
And blame your selfish ways
I will take this truck
With all of our past times and loving words exchanged
And drive off into the blue horizon
So you can forget my name
