"Broken Embrace"

The heart knows...

The cost of everything...

Memories gather

Like foot soldiers marching

A battle between the mind and soul

Betrayal is an action always wanting to be known

We have become these moments lost

Your actions cannot break me...

Your sins are not mine to bare

They do not serve to identify me

And they never will...

I will no longer feed the emptiness you carry

I release myself from you...

My goodness cannot be taken...

Making this final act one of simple kindness

For I lack the energy to be cruel...

Your absence from me will be a weight lifted

So please...

Save yourself the trouble...

The dirty hands...

And the sweated brow...

You will not dig a grave for my heart

For it was you who closed the door upon us...

Losing the key...

And I have now changed the lock.
