One last gift (No reason part 3)

By veingo

If you've been wondering about me,

I've found comfort in these old sayings.


"that, that does not kill us,
only makes us stronger"

You've nearly killed me,
time and time again.

So I won't rest my happiness
upon you any longer.

I've found the keys to strength,
and joy, within.



"Life indeed is just a stage,
and we are meerly, players"

I've found the charactor,
that I should be.

I will no longer beg you to cmoplete me,
in my prayers.

What will be, will be.
I will be me.



"It's better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all"

And I have learned so much,
from loveing you.

I'll never rest my heart and soal,
or life and love again,

on what someone else, may
or may not do.



And if you were wondering about the children.



I picked their hearts up off the ground,
and washed them with their tears.

I'm getting good at cleaning
up for you.

I tended to their blisterd wings,
and talked away their fears.

Because that's the kind of thing
good daddys do.





This is not anger.

This is not fear.

This is acceptance.

It's finaly clear.





You need just one last gift from me.

So once more,

as I've done befor,

I give of myself freely.




I loved you for no reason.

In return, you tortured me.

If you need justification.

Then I will set you free.




It can be all my fault this time.

Fuck it all.

Yes, twist it well.

Make the consequences all mine.




So this is my last gift,

all that was left inside my heart.

It's nothing now, but just an empty shell.




Because of you I'm cursed.

For what you've done, You must be damned.

Surely, we'll meet again in hell.




I loved you for no reason....



But for some reason, things change....



Now, I have no reason to love you....

    Makes it easier to let go of someone when they cross the line(whatever that may be)...but to forgive...very hard, especially when it affects the little pieces of your heart outside yourself.
