Can you feel my empty soul, the way it cries at night?
My arms empty, so is the space to my right.
Shadows linger around me, tired of hearing it again,
The same old story, with the predictable end.
Confusion sweeps all around, why I can continue defending you,
Especially since the last time, is this time too.
It’s becoming easier, forgiving your leaving,
For there are always your promises, even though deceiving.
Washable crayons, used to put color back in my heart,
Easier to erase, when you tear my world apart.
Like a sponge you soak it all in, enjoying it, it seems,
Then release when you're ready to run, shattering my dreams.
Can you see what you're doing, do you even care?
The way you come and go like the storm, is it really fair?
That you can blast me on a dime, and tell me your gone,
Then when enough is enough, you tell me I’m the one that’s wrong.
Well I believe people can make a change, but 3 times is way too much,
I begged, pleaded, forgiven you, not its time to be tough.
This time I’m leaving, I love you, but we can’t go on like this,
Trampling around scared, wondering if this will be the last kiss.
So upon my heart, in permanent marker, I scribbled an “X”,
This is the place claimed by you, the man who finally failed the test.
No longer will you break me, no longer will you leave,
Its time to move on, and find the man whose meant for me.
