No Longer A Nightmare.

Another day where i'm forgotten,
How long will it take until you care?
Why is it that i'm still waiting,
Why do i still expect you to be there?

The pain lingers from the day before
mixing with the new flow from today.
The doors open but where to go,
so like yesterday, today i stay.

You manipulate me so well,
like a puppet on a string.
Telling me, "who else would ever want you"
so like driftwood at sea to you i cling.

Your words cut so deep a wound
but still i laugh at you,
as i've dealt with so much more
i think really what can you do.

I was wrong as you again once proved,
with a closed fist against my cheek.
So often did i try to leave
but you made me feel so exhaustingly weak.

Who was i without you i thought
i needed you to be me,
but then an opportunity arose
and without you i found myself to be.

When i think of what you did i'm sad,
i am even more mad at myself,
you made me so pathetic, a wreck.
Just another conquest on your shelf.

Now someone has come along,
my broken pieces he has mended.
Much more a man than you'll ever be,
One to whom my heart finally surrendered.

With the dawn of a day where,
finally, finally i am free
i let go of all my anguish
letting go of that, is the key.
