Clearly

There is so much history here,

buried in the rubble.

 

You took everything from me

and didn't even know it.

 

You just walked away 

and never turned back.

 

The sense of rejection 

blinds me to the truth.

 

I try to find what's left

in the ashes you left behind. 

 

Now I see clearly what's 

been blurred all these years.

 

There is no one to blame,

no point in pointing fingers.

 

You don't owe me an explanation;

what's past should stay there.

 

Now we can just move forward,

mend the bridges that once burned.
