What's Left

For now, it's time to let you go.

That's all I know to do.

Because I've tried every way

To make you see the truth.

You tried to hurt me with your words

And make me fall for your scheme,

Yet I was too clever to fall for it.

But your tricks did leave a sting.

Why wouldn't they though? The

assurance I would be with you again

Was what I believed with all my heart.

I thought that hope would never end.

Yet it did, and all that remains

Is the memory of what we used to be.

Like the big box of letters, the poems

And your Adidas hoodie.

You're the greatest thing I'll give up,

But I'm not saying goodbye.

I've just decided to not hang

Onto something that's already died.

Just because I'm walking away doesn't mean the words I said aren't true.

I'm turning my back while there's

Still something left of me and you.
