A light (A goodbye) - Piece by piece

A light

Bright

Bright and white

Oh so white

It blinds my soul and heals it from all the pain

It shines on all the darkness

And through it all

I feel it tremble

What was I supposed to do?

What’s worse, is that you don’t know what you’re doing

You don’t know, you’re doing what she did

You abandoned me

You didn’t mean to

You just did

Which is why it’s worse

I faded in your mind

Slowly

Stealthily

I became but a whisper you’d only hear in your quitest moments

I’m deeply sorry

For, for you

I would die

Or at least I’d try

If it meant saving you

Because I love you

What kind of love that is…

I don’t know

But I won’t look much into it

For If I realize I love you,

I will die

I will go back to that moment

The one in which she ended things

The one in which she shut the door on me

The one in which I was devastated

In that moment

In which I shed my last tears of sadness

The one before the storm

A storm which may have passed now

A storm I fought to get through with teeth and nails

A storm that left me closed up

A storm that without you

Would still hold my heart captive

I don’t know who I’d be now without you

You saved me

But now I have to let you go

'Cause part of me knows I’ll never see you again

I never will

And it makes me want to cry every time I think about it  

But like then

The tears won’t roll down my cheeks

For I can’t cry

And unlike then

The walls I had

Are mostly down

Which is why it hurts more now than it did before

But I’m still happy

These thoughts

These emotions

Are but a whisper at the back of my head

You stopped trying

And I got tired of being stuck

Of always never letting go

Letting go

As I ought to

So goodbye

If you truly loved me

If you truly knew what you’ve done

You would know it

I don’t want excuses

I still love you

I always will

But I can’t torture myself anymore

I can’t feel pain every time I think about you

If you truly knew what you’ve done

You’d know

You’d know

…

But you don’t

I sigh at the thought

But this is goodbye

No longer will I be a fool

No longer will I be a masochist

Thank you for everything

Truly

But I can’t do this anymore

Please

No excuses

If you want to save this

Truly

Really fix it

You’ll know what to do

And if you don’t that’s fine

But please

Remember me fondly

Think of me still

Even if once a year

Remember me and smile

My hands tremble as I type

The wind howls and the storm that is my heart

Quiets

Silence

Tranquility

…

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye Delilah
