Moving On

You were always so sweet

You were always so shy too

Talking about your passions, so upbeat

We always wanted to look out for you.

And you were always so warm

Though your skin was always cold

You were unique, you refused to conform

Inside you had an insanity untold

And you always made me happy

After you, I was never the same.

But I was never unhappy

Because you gave me a name.

And you were always so deceptive

But you knew things because I trusted you

Perhaps we just needed a change of perspective

And our friendship would pull through

Finally… you were always strange

Because you were different, all mine

I hope that you never change

And that everything works out just fine.

~~~~~~

Now you are afraid to come out

Painting with an uneasy grin

Living a life filled with doubt

Leaving us on the outside looking in.

Now you see me and leave

Your coldness is now distance

The fact I’ve changed, you’ll never believe

Because I changed everything in a single instance.

Now you may have found life

Filling you as ink fills your pen

No longer holding the knife

Because you don’t need to worry again.

Now you are gone forever

After finding my identity

But you’re there with whomever

And you will make your own serenity

Now you smile at me

Unaware everything is wrong

I wonder if you’re truly free

But for you, I’ll have to be strong

~~~~~~

Normally, I would complain

And write in my empty space

Enduring all of this sorrowful pain

Lamenting that I’m still in the same place

But not today.

Tonight, I leave it all behind

All of you who have gone

Tonight, I will clear my mind
