The time has come
for you to be just
a part of my past,
not a mainstay
in my future.
You will soon
become a remnant
of a memory
from long ago,
fading everyday.
You had a role in
my Manifested destiny,
but your character
proved flawed
so you were written off.
Now just an apparition
from my prior life,
a distant ghost
of a former identity
I'd rather soon forget.
