In Death, Now I Have Peace

He was a ghost for so long,
A nightmare I could not avoid.

I am not strong,
So I closed up, paranoid.

Haunting me,
Regrets, pain, anger, and rage.

I buried the feelings for so long,
Put away in a cage.

Now he is gone,
It is time to release all of it.

I remember everything,
The screaming, yelling, abuse, all the bullshit.

The feeling of blood running down my face,
Waves of panic, tears, earth shattering pain.

All of it is now over,
It feels like some horrible dream.

Now that you have passed on,
I am stuck with the baggage that hovers.

My fury boiling under my skin,
I am the one now to suffer.

What to do with the pain,
Swallow it down, or shatter.

You will not ruin me in your death,
As you did in life.

A beautiful pain,
I no longer desire for strife.

So I guess this is my final goodbye,
I bid you a due.

With one last heavy sigh,
We are finally through.
