I was reborn.
No longer trying to erase you
I allow you to take your place
In the past
Inside a chest of lost dreams
And outdated beliefs
I no longer feel the need
To wrestle you into non-existence
You lived your purpose
For my life
What more is there?
No such thing as happy endings
Not for us
Anyway
One moment I was talking to you
Grasping at our old life
Not realizing that it was already a ghost
Banging my head against the wall of defeat
We tried so hard to love each other
Together we shouted and wept
Together we lost it all
We summoned all our strength
To resurrect it from the ashes
Only to set it on fire again
To make sure it was really dead
The beast of heartache was hammering away
Pieces of me crumbling to the floor
I threw the phone down
As the beast finally broke through
It came so fast
You were there screeching
Like a freight train
A rage of fire
Total destruction
As we released each other
One last time
Our cosmic connection
Broken
Willed away
By the need to be free
Then all was dark
And quiet
I arose to see
The corpse of me
Laying on the floor
You were nowhere to be seen
No longer a part of my awareness
This was the end?
But it wasn’t
It was just the end
Of her
The heartbroken girl
I study the look upon her face
Tormented, swollen eyes
Sticky tears painting her cheeks
I didn’t know she was dying
Until the banshee carried her away
And in an instant
It all evaporated
She became me again
Emerging out of the darkness
Reborn
After months of haunting me
You suddenly went screaming down the hallway
Of my mind
And straight into a memory
