Breaking the Cycle
The only trophy of the love we shared,
The sole reminder of what once was,
The last remnants of our time together,
Burdened me like the cross.
Somehow the good times drowned in a sea of arguments,
diluted by the hatred, anger and spite;
washed away by negativity,
only to resurface at night.
This keepsake of our relationship –
A scar across my heart –
Seems so unjust to me,
A negative reflection of our past.
But I’m strong enough to look beyond the pain now.
Finally ready to break this spell,
and heaven knows I need a new lease of life
because I’ve spent the past few months in hell.
The key to getting over you?
The secret to moving on?
Is accepting that what’s done is done
And our time together has gone.
A part of me will always be yours,
You’re my first love, I’ll never forget,
But I know there’s someone else out there
Who I can love without regret.
So fly away now darling,
Seek the virtues you couldn’t see in me.
We both knew it was flawed come the end
And that we’d each be happier free.
I’ll never forget your smile,
Or the love I’m yet to shake.
But my grieving needs to stop now,
It’s time to move on and embrace my fate.
