broken pledge.

For some time i sat in agony,
my face within my hands,
holding on to memories gone,
footprints in the sand,
tormented thoughts racing in my mind,
wishing like crazy,
to be able to press rewind.
Memories past spread across the ground,
everything went quiet,
nothing,
no sound,
i knelt down in sorrow the waters upon my skin,
washing them away,
Wanting new life to begin,
i cried so hard i couldn't breathe,
my life past before my eyes,
and in that very moment,
curled up on the floor,
is where my life begins,
no suffering anymore,
I caught my breath,
and stood up tall,
ill piece myself together,
for you and i are done now,
No more promise of forever,
You took my heart and made a pledge,
a pledge you couldn't keep,
and painfully had driven a knife in my heart,
echoing deep,
the more you went without me through life,
the more i needed you to stay,
but the way you treated me when you were there,
i was glad you went away,
My heartache turned to stones now,
I've removed them from my way,
the memories are so clear still,
but in time they will to fade away.
I hold my head up high now,
for a new life I have to live,
my heart it keeps on beating,
i have so much within it to give,
As time passes by i know i will learn to forgive,
for i made the choice not to suffocate,
I made the choice to live.
