There was a day
That I was free from your grip
When my heart wasn't gone
But that day now fades to black
My throat burns
On my frozen soliloquy
And the tears that drip so raw
Offer no relief
There is no life left for me to give
You've taken the last of me
With my heart inside your hand
You broke it long ago
Unknowingly
This is the last time that you'll hold onto me
This is the last time I'll pretend that you care
And this last time
I will stand alone
I won't wait for you to make me real
For I can do that on my own
For so long I crouched in your shadow
My only knight in this glistening hell
I was so helpless under your spell
But your hand was never mine to hold
Under nights' heavy cloak
I would suffocate every day
You were the only light I could see
But you never saw me
This is my own life to live
I've taken myself back
My love no longer stands unrequited
You can't break me anymore
I won't let you
This is the last time my life can be yours
This is the last time I'll look through those doors
And this last time
I will stand alone
I won't wait for you to make me real
For I can do that on my own
This last day draws to a close
The twilight calls in whispers
And the final goodbye I should have said long ago
I hope you hear it now
Because I don't repeat myself
All those tears I cried
Can now finally dry
And all those times I thought I would die
I have pushed from out of my mind
I can breathe again
And not in misery
This is the last time you'll be in my thoughts
This is the last time you'll haunt my waking dreams
And this last time
I will stand alone
I won't wait for you to make me real
For I can do that on my own
Even if you'll never know.

This is really sad. It's good that you're standing on your own. As someone once said, you have to love yourself, others can love you. I think you'll be better for it! Keep up the great writing!
