The Reflection

I don't know why you would think I'd care,
if your feelings were hurt.

With what you did, not just to me,
yours are the last on my mind.

Cowardly you walked away,
without even saying good bye.

We gave you love,
with no questions asked as you gave nothing in return.

How quickly you thought we'd always be around,
thinking we'd never get a clue.

It is hard to imagine all of this,
when not too long ago, I loved you.

Now though, I am strong enough to walk away,
and to tell you that it's over.

This hold you had over her and I,
it stayed with us for long enough.

Your thumb you continued to hold on top,
even after we said good bye.

I thought when we walked away,
I had left the emotions behind.

It took your painful language,
and lack of feelings for me to realize what I did.

You care for no one but yourself,
this I can finally see.

As much as I wanted you, to love you,
that is how much you pushed me away.

Pulling me down, day by day,
you kept me under lock and key.

My heart was never mine to give away,
to another who would be worthy of its weight.

You kept me down, by keeping me close,
and that was completely unfair.

I thought I was able to move on,
once our life was over, but that was not so.

I tried so hard, to recreate our lives,
into one that was full of love and happiness.

But each time we got a little ways ahead,
you found your way back to drag us down.

Now it's over, and this is it,
so do what you do best, and just walk away.

Forget our names, or where we are,
and we'll leave the past in the past.

We will move on, leaving you behind,
if you will only let us go.
