The Last Of You

[Bry89]

After all that we went through
The blood that boiled
And all over me

So this is the long farewell
You'll receive no thanks from me
Tonight is where I'm free

You were a living nightmare
That I couldn't wake from
Why should I cry over you now?

The final call, the ship set to sail
I'll watch you vanish into the distance
Without a sound

When all has settled
And there lies the ashes
Of burnt down memories

Face it, you were a burden to me
A sinner that never spoke the truth
So when you're finally out of my sight
I'll be glad to see the last of you

No goodbyes
Just the resentment
No celebration
Just the bitterness
That cruel reality
Your great legacy

After the time that you go
You'll be best forgotten
I won't miss you

Face it, you made me what I've become today
A soul bereft of emotion, only this pain
Begone with you

A certain depth of bitterness covers over what sounds to be the end of a bad situation...like a cleansing...leaving room for freedom and brighter days, real or metaphorical.

I always appreciate poetry which tells truth and also points me to possibility.
