GoodBye

GoodBye

A Poem by Backlight Burner

When I think back to past lives

There has never been one such as you

You tore my heart in two

And like the child that I was I came right back to you

You said it was okay, that you loved me

I thought that was true

And now that things are over 

I admit I truly miss you

What is it I am feeling

Something I wish to leave

For the past is where you belong

My future is yet to be seen

But for the sake of my sanity

I beg that you go back

To avoiding me and forgetting me

The way that you know best

For when you leave someone behind 

What can you expect when you come home

To an empty house of feelings

I do not wish to feel you here once more

I wish that you would go

Though when you look into my eyes I must wonder

Did you really want to go?

I can not say that I don’t love you

I think I always will

But I know when something’s bad for me, and you sir are ill

I need to be set free

The past has weighed me down

I’m suffocating now

I wish to wash you from my life

And yet you stand there surprised

When you take a heart in burn it

Should its still beat the same?

You have scared me and I wish so soon that I could do the same

You say that it’s okay now

It will never be the way that it once was

And you’re right in that fact for as of today

I burn you from my life

For no longer shall you stay

Feeding off my heart

Of sweet memories yesterday

I have to tell myself the truth

I miss you, yes I do

But I know pain when I see it

And I’m through!!!
