Goodbye My Love

I have been fighting back tears all day!
I have to go on
pushing through the pieces
of my broken heart
to find the beating one!!
I have no more excuses
you’ve taken away so much
there is nothing left.
My feelings are distorted
but one remains clear
I no longer feel fear.
My tears will soon catch up to my pain.
For now I have to maintain my strength!
I’ll face it alone
I’ve done it before
I’ll do it again!
I don’t have the luxury
to lay down and die
over a man!
I never thought
I’d have to go on without you.
It’s not a crime but it feels like murder.
It’s tough to face the truth
but wishing doesn’t get you what you want
& faith doesn’t help you push through!
You opened the world to me
and left me alone in it.
I am no martyr,
I won’t deny my pain
I’ll hurt through it
but I’ll destroy any thought of you
after today!
I won’t retrace a single step.
I know you can replace me
But trust me when I say
There will be a day
you’d wish it wasn’t this way.
You’ll feel the emptiness
my absence has left
but it will be too goddamn late!
I’ve left more important people behind
and I still go on
Cause you don’t know strength
until pain hits you hard
leaves you for dead
& you get the fuck back up!
