I am standing here,
All dressed in black.
Reflecting back on what once was.
All those beautiful memories,
Have turned to dust.
Filed away to a place,
That maybe on the occasional once in a while,
You will be recalled.
I did what I needed to do.
It was the only way to break free from you.
Now my feelings have all changed.
The love that I held for you has turned bad.
It was unhealthy to say the least.
Precious time wasted,
Well , at least to a point.
You changed my perspective totally.
I view it a different way now.
I am harder than what I use to be.
Boundaries where never my finer point,
But since you have gone they are the point.
Stronger, more courages ,and wiser, you left me.
In my room of memories is where you will remain with me.
