choking back on bitter
memories and regrets
all I've dreamt to leave behind
was always there
urging me, haunting me
daring me to move on
bleeding me, drenching me
wiping the tears from my eyes
the love once there
now fallen, withering
and left for dead
the catalytical chemical contact
needed to rekindle the spark
was never there
urging me, haunting me
daring me to move on bleeding me, drenching me
wiping the tears from my eyes
choking back on bitter
memories and regrets
the rain comes cascading down
and the sun wipes the tears form my eyes
thinking of all i'd dreamt to leave behind
why did I have to say goodbye?
