Don't speak. Let me in.

(Saying Goodbye-}
{2003-06-06} {9:48 p.m.}

I gotta be honest, I think you know I'm covered in lies by other people, and that's ok

The years were good
The lines were monotonous
Repetitive highlights of tiresome days
It's now time for the memories to darken
Moment to moment as I cried
I tried to address my fears
As my past still prevailed
Washing over me in stressful tides
Readers were demanding, draining me
As I wrote for an audience more than myself
Spectators turned cruel words into lacerations
Slashing the very existence of my reality
Listeners becoming bookworms of a cliché
Converted me into lies through flattery
Sugar coated deceit left me broken and fragile
You broke down my exterior
And covered it in manipulative exploitations
All of your secondary nature has left me scared
And now it's time to close the page
Of this blank piece of paper
And say goodbye
The theater doors are closed on this stage
This tune is over due to a broken melody
Embrace the time we’ve shared
I may come back from a lingering stance
To read your annotations and clear my mind
Hold our words close to your heart
And never clinch what’s gone astray
Our months of sharing will never be forgotten
Just remember me as I move onward
For my feelings are over and done
I will triumph and meet my mission
As long as you are behind me
In pursuit of my forgotten past.
