No matter where I am,

No matter what I do,

I always have to stop,

And think about you,



You invaded my thoughts,

You filled my dreams,

You controlled my life,

Or so it seems,



You called me names,

You made me laugh,

But you disturbed my world,

With all your wrath,



Sometimes you were cruel,

Other times you were kind,

Sometimes you were spiteful,

It just blew my mind,



Sometimes I still laugh,

Sometimes I cry,

Sometimes I just scream,

I don’t know why,



I saw your face,

A picture of life,

And I felt sorrow,

For all of this strife,



You put me through pain,

You gave me strength,

I knew our own world,

We went to great lengths,



You filled me with hope,

But also with fear,

Where will I go?

Now that you’re not here,



I’d taken your tests,

I’d given up hope,

I’d had such a hard time,

Going up this steep slope,



You’d taken me for granted,

You’d used me too much,

But you’d strengthened my heart,

With you own special touch,



You treated me so roughly,

But I loved you so truly,

I’d given you my life,

I’d trusted so fully,



But we’d been drawn apart,

By life’s twists and turning,

But I’m still filled with fear,

I will always be yearning,



You’d pushed and pulled,

You’d helped and tended,

But our relationship was something,

That could never be mended,



I’ve missed you character,

I’ve missed your sweet voice,

But most of all,

My heart longs to rejoice,



I’m gone from your clutches,

I’m gone from your rage,

You can’t hurt me anymore,

I’m not in that cage,



I’ve missed you like crazy,

But this is worthwhile,

Because now when I look back on you,

I can smile,



I won’t go through anymore,

I won’t suffer and cry,

I won’t have that longing,

I won’t wonder why,



I’ve put this behind me,

I’ve blocked it all out,

But I’ll never truly forget,

What our love was about.
