This 'feeling'
You speak of
That 'emotion'
I suffer from is
Dying love
I don't mean
'he rip my heart out and destroyed it'
It's not like
'I'll kill myself for your love'
I mean...
This warm feeling is fading
Not fading
'Into the bitterness dark'
Fading into a place
Of wellness
Happy that my heart will let go
Happy to walk by the person,
Not feeling my heart skip a beat
Happy to be myself
Happy to be a better me
Dying love for me,
Is a blissful place
To finally have the weight off your shoulders
To finally moving forward,
When the past is behind you
Come with me,
To move on
Come with me,
We can be friends
Come with me...
The love is dead...
Author notes
My friend has always moved on. I didn't know or want to move on. But now that I am, I feel so much better. No more pressure, no more 'games', no more stress. Him and I are finally friends. He was waiting, to move forward and let the past vanish.

I love how disconnected it is at the start, this "feeling". Great work!
"To finally moving forward,
When the past is behind you" -- That has got to be one of the best feelings in the world. And it only makes it better when you are moving on, because you have the ability to feel so secure within yourself and the situation you're leaving behind.
Very well done, I wish you the best in this contest
Itnc.

i love this
the last line 'The love is dead...' seems like there's some bitterness there i think, i'm not sure if it's intentional but i love that too
