Love can be a sinister thing Like listening to church bells ring While you are stoned Why can't we just be ourselves And be like no one else Who has ever come and gone Why try to fake a smile Knowing all the while That happiness isn't there Is it not better to have loved and lost Be it whatever the cost Than to have false memories to share See you left me on one wounded knee Your words constantly severing Every valve in my heart Should've known we wouldn't last Figured it out after my fourth bypass That we're better being apart So this is my last goodbye No more tears left to cry I've shed them all At least I'll leave with my pride And my head held high No longer will I fall... (For your lies)
heartfelt write...and yes....sometimes it is more honest to leave, than live a lie...that causes so much harm.....when two are past sharing......Great write Dementia...Kathy
Respect to you Dementia! It takes real courage to accept that what we have is wrong and it is best to let go. And it takes even greater courage to resist going back or taking them back. So many of us have suffered more than we because we don't have what it takes to accept the very thing they are holding onto is the very toxin that makes our lives unbearable. Love the sentiments and the Truth, Realization and Courage that pops up in between the lines! Hold your head high...for no longer will you fail!
Thank you both for your comments. Both are very true. It is hard to let go and walk away but harder to stay and live a life full of misery.

Hi Dementia,
It is indeed very hard to keep hanging in there if there is more pain to bear than happiness.. Not all things are meant to last and it is so much easier for all concerned if honesty would be laid once and for all and let go. It is so much easier said than done but the moment the decision is made, then it is downhill from there. Good luck.
No more tears left to cry I've shed them all At least I'll leave with my pride And my head held high No longer will I fall... (For your lies)
Dementia, I too have said a few of those "Goodbye's" with all the lies. Great feeling in that poem. I happy that you are stronger from your experience . The woman of your dreams is out there 4 u.. Gd share . 'Kg

No more tears left to cry
I've shed them all
At least I'll leave with my pride
And my head held high
No longer will I fall...
