One Last Time

We meet one last time,

much different than anytime before.

You reach for my hand and

I notice my heart doesn't skip a beat.

The love that once united our souls

has sadly slipped away.

The one heart we once shared,

now beats as two.

 

Our eyes lock,

the flame that once burned in your eyes

has reduced to a faint flicker.

There is no warmth between us,

only cold bitter air.

 

I take all the pain you caused me,

all the tears that were shed,

and all the emptiness felt

and turn it into the strength I need

to finally walk away.

We share one last brief kiss,

I take a deep breath and sigh,

the fire goes out, and I move on.

 

Go Back
