Departure - My Love Part Vi

I looked at you with resentful eyes
Blinded by the foggy lens that covered my vision
Once a sweet angel, I believed, had now blood studded horns
Whose managing grin and flaming soul corrupted my decision

For years I believed, fate would set afire your love
Eventually becoming one, together we would fall
It hurts when the words inscribed in one’s heart
Are so obvious, yet their dear can’t see them at all

Months ago, the truth I’d realized
Yet unable to absorb, deluded by what my mind had constructed
And to deserving happiness, I had neglect
Kept a lock on my love, the path to my heart obstructed

I pass by the cherry blossom highs, who’d regained eternal silence 
The tiny tulips; lifeless they now seem, their words I resisted
For strong was my mind, enough to let go, enough to pray
Let we, grow so distant, I’d forget you’d even existed

With a final taste of the bitterness you’d left me in
I walk, then sprint, fall on my knees, get up and walk again
And give into the earnest embrace of my own self
And cuddle up next to my own warmth, until I burn the pain

Weep for the last time, before I never take your name again
In angry memories of your sweet past, I dwell
To detain my departure, I couldn’t do
For the longer I stayed, the more I hated myself

And for the last time, I wave goodbye to your sweet 
Yet repulsive visage, no longer I’d muse nor grieve
My heart began anew, another may enter and you
May depart, or so my heart wished to believe
