Goodbye

You have my heart tied up in knots

and each time I break free

you pull me back in

but not this time

This game of catch and release

has come to an end

I should rejoice in the freedom 

Refuse to look back

but I don't

I sit waiting for the next turn

knowing it may not come

not sure if I want it to

You are perfectly aware 

of each step that you take

But don't claim your innocence

Is harmless to all

Words are not actions but cut just as deep

Intentions and timing let you slip away unseen

I wanted to believe it was a game I could handle

I was willing to believe most turns on the board

Loosing balance and perspective

I reach for the door

It is hard to look back 

and know you left first
