I didn't know why,

I didn't know when.

My heart dropped- I sighed,

When you did it again.


I'm alive because of me,

But always living for you.

Talk is cheap--words are free

But I didn't know what you knew.


It's okay, I'll be fine.

I won't be soft, but still kind.

You were the juice to my fruit,

I was the throw away rind.


I'm not done, but it's over.

I give up, but will move forward.

I'll be proactive--not reactive

You're out of luck, where's your clover?


I'll say that I don't, that I can't, that I won't.

But my heart will say yes, that I can, it's the best.


I hate what I love, 

and I love what I hate.

Beyond and above,

Why can't you relate?


I know now--when and why,

Yes, I've known all along.

Sing your song.....can you try?

You've helped me prove myself wrong.


I was only allowed,

To hear and see what you shared.

Even though love was loud

We didnt share the same commitment to care.


I don't need to know who,

I don't need to know where.

Because I'm done feeling blue,

Now I won't always be there.


As much as I say it.

As bad as it hurts inside,

This goodbye isn't over.

No, I'm just along for the ride.


It's all over the place, how I feel, how I love.

But it's never too late for what's real-- when push comes to shove.


This never-ending goodbye

Will soon come to an end.

I'll come alive--feel so high,

And never do this again.


You might think that I'll stay

And won't live for what's mine.

Think, think away...

What I want I will find.


So stop with the tries.

Stop all the drama.

Stop with your cries.

Stop causing me trauma.


Stop telling lies.

Stop, be a momma,

Stop as it dies.

Stop, don't pause like this comma.


So stop stopping me

Stop stopping her

Stop, let us free

Stop what we were.


Stop hurting me

because she hurts inside.

Stop watching us 

while we watch as it flies.


Just stop stopping us with these never-ending goodbyes.
