A New Day
You've made your choice,
You've said your goodbye's.
It was a gentle push,
A less painful demise.
It ended quiet slowly,
creeping towards the end.
A castle left abandoned,
No soul left to defend.
Thoughts left unspoken.
Souls left heartbroken.
Words left misspoken.
* * *
A knife in the dark,
Quiet, swift and unsteady.
Separated quite quickly,
I was simply not ready.
A sigh of relief,
As you looked at the damage.
You say you are sorry,
Words don't work like a bandage.
White flags of surrender.
Coward or defender?
Breaker or mender?
* * *
A new dawn is breaking,
I've seen the light.
Heavy in my heart,
Yet out of my sight.
The world keeps on turning,
And I must go on.
I have to realize,
You believe you did no wrong.
A life has been waiting.
It might get frustrating,
But no more debating,
The risks I'll be taking.
I'll be creating,
A life that's worth living.
It will be fascinating,
And I'll be forgiving.
