Gone

I used to know you
now I don’t
I used to cry
but now I won’t
I’ve let go of
the heart I owned
determined to make it
on my own
Years have passed
before my eyes
once filled with love
now full of lies
I have seen you
melt away
further from me
with each day
Until I found
I cannot pretend
to be your lover
or your friend
Instead it seems
the love we had
has withered, rotted,
turned so bad
And I am left
with feelings void
in a place where I
had once felt joy
But I won’t despair
just hurry on
I know it’s best
if I am gone.
