everything is packed up in the moving truck down the street
furniture, clothing, and the bitter ending of what used to be you and me

not sure when it all went downhill, or even when we decided this was best
maybe i should have known something was coming, when you said you had to get something off your chest

i never thought id ever hear the words you spoke to me that day
"im not in love with you anymore, its time to go our seperate ways"

i wanted to break down and cry, but for some reason there were no tears
maybe i was trying to be strong, or maybe i just wasnt ready to face my fears

the realization that i would once again be alone began to take its toll
what used to be the warmth i desired, had now turned ugly and cold

we started to bicker and fight and slept at other ends of the hall
the person i had spent so many years with, i realized i wasnt sure i even knew at all

so as i walk away today from everything i had once loved with all my heart
i smile through the tears, because even though today is the ending of what used to be...its also the beginning of a new start

got out the gut wrenching emotions and ended with a positive note, that's what I'm talking about...you go girl!

the realization that i would once again be alone began to take its toll

^you'll always have your dignity and self respect, never alone with those intact...Chin up, life gets better when you drop the dead weight

thank you

a soulful write

Nice reflection. I read a lot of inner knowing subtly interwoven in this write - pretty similar to ------ inner strength.

thank you both

Good write
