The Parting Of Ways

By Malcholm Dark

We started down as one, side by side
A road I thought we would always ride.
But then dissension came between us you see
My heart was broken as you sought to be free.
Our love was like a complicated maze
  ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away.


The little matters we argued for, seemed so dumb
Then came a loneliness coupled with the boredom.
I couldn't see your problems clearly, though they grew
And the lies in your eyes with the words, "I love you."
Our relationship ended in a doleful haze
    ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away.


Though many years have passed me now
This love for you was kept somehow.
And even when I close my eyes
Forgotten feelings still arise.
I think about her through the days
 ...such are the parting of ways.
--I can't explain where our love went wrong
the words are hard, so hard for me to say.
--We traveled down that rocky road too long
you said good-bye to love and walked away


You walked away with a saddened gaze
  ...such are the parting of ways.

    I've been introduced to this feeling myself, and you totally captured the true rawness it brings along, "And even when I close my eyes, forgotten feelings still arise" that says it all. much props, and thanx for sharing

    Brilliant, that was touching, a stark contrast to the zombie write lol, this was amazing, and it really elaborates why "parting is such sweet sorrow", well done, thanks for sharing. Scholar

    Utterly beautiful. Something that burns and soothes simultaneously.
