NO MORE YOU

It is time to for me to go

Our time together has come to an end

I can no longer light your life

With my love

Your darkness had enveloped

My healing flame

Encasing it in ice

Causing me to forget about me

And to think only of you

I am moving on

Away from the harm of

Being alive only for you

I have no more desire to be

 A part of you

And you of me

I need to rekindle my lost inner glow

And to believe in me

I wish no way back

To all the hurt

And broken dreams

That poisoned my soul

I have grown up

And now partly accept

The fortunes

That living and life

Have bestowed on me

I can go it alone

I am equipped with some strength

That can pull me through

This move away from you

I am only partly free from you

The strings that attach us

Get more brittle everyday

And I am slowly moving on

A harsh unforgiving critic you were

Faults were forever always mine

I felt no love

And received no forgiveness

I was a burden to you

It was a very caustic brew

My life with you

You had a strong pull

That tormented  as it attracted me

I had some love

That kept me close to you

It feels good to be heading away

Far from you

I may be weak but

Also I am becoming happy

Each day reminds me of us

But my vitality grows

And I sometimes can forget you

I can see a future without you

I have regrets about us

But my hope for a better future

Will pull me through

I am glad I finally got away from you
