Easing Away

Bitterly wrote this like 3 years ago and never posted it. After reading it again I decided to post because it no longer hurts to do so and is deep! Snap snap yeah that's me!

Letting go of the bad memories would mean letting go of the good ones
So I'll wait for someone to pick me up at the intersection of take me and taken
The definition of available rewritten in tears of anger, disappointment and fear -You displaced me where I was vulnerable


Pushed me away slowly hoping I wouldn't recognize the ripping sound my trust makes?
Disconnected us one phone call at a time hoping I wouldn't hear the silence?
Hoping I would accept the charges of reality's collect call from where I shoulda been -I recognize you even when your back is turned  


My only request is that you please slam the door next time you tip toe away from my love
The knob to my heart has some wear but it'll still lock behind you 
Take your inside jokes, smells, love songs and butterflies with you -I watched you fade into my pain  


And now I can't see beyond where I think you are now
Lost at sea with these memories that aren't ours
Knowing my pride's waters are only rising, washing away every hope and every wish of me ever swimming back closer to you -Your quiet and gentle surrender was never for me 


Killing me softly plays in the background of your last chance's dismissal
Praying that before you can turn to say goodbye I'm already frozen 
While you back away behind the excuses and BS that you hope keep me warm at night just know -I noticed your white flag before you ever had to raise it
