"Parts Of Our Story"

I could feel the colour run...

As it faded from my face

With the blinking of an eye

My view changed

And shadows grew...

Questions became a daily existence

Confused moments added together

Tearing away pieces of my sanity

Heartbeats follow footsteps

The light emerged

Casting its way through the darkness

Life had been put on hold for far too long

Held hostage to what could have been...

The signs came...

Realizations were made

Strength gained was a voice found

Power is now that voice used

And I could not break myself in half

Just to try and save a few parts of you

I am living my truth

Without your blurred vision and lies

You never understood my words spoken

Making my silence fall upon deaf ears

I release myself from staying with you for as long as I did

I was torn between not giving up on the person I loved

And coming to terms with the fact that the person I loved no longer existed...

It pains the heart to tell the mind this

It takes a while to believe

That sometimes we have to give up on people

Not because we don't care anymore...

But because they don't...

Its up to us to find the conviction within

Knowing that its not the end of our life

Its simply the end of their part within our story

Making them now...

The past...

A ghost that never was.
