Saying goodbye because I can 33 lines |
Dear friend Today I say good-bye to you my old friend I am leaving you behind and I will miss you So many years together we have lived Hand in hand from dawn til dusk and in between You have kept me company through my growing years Accompanied me through good and bad right and wrong The time has come to put the memories to sleep No longer am I blinded by your false comforts You are a love relationship gone badly Yes there was a time it was cool to hang out When I was younger and did not understand You take and take and leave me feeling guilty You bring no joy to my life or my spirit I feel bad when I am with you I see the people passing by glance my way With their annoyed looks and lack of understanding I wish I could disagree with all of them But I cannot and I will not close my eyes It is true I have been stuck under your spell I am breaking free from your grasp forever Don't try to tempt me with your pretty silver lining Misses Marlboro with your super ultra-light flair I am moving on to live another day Filled with hopes and dreams, goals and commitments I know the road will be rocky and steep But I am willing to travel that road No more will you etch lines upon my face Take the very breath away that God gave You soon will be a faded memory And I will be the passerby looking Not with disgust but with much empathy Because I know the legacy you leave. |
