Long-Gone
Two years have gone by
Since you left my life,
Thinking I'd die without you,
But somehow I made it through.
It was a tough and long road
That I had to tackle on my own.
Such a hard and drawn out task,
Trying to erase memories of our past.
A seven year relationship was now gone,
Wondering where it all went wrong.
When at one time it was so good,
Turning back the clock if I could.
You were my whole world, I truly believed,
Never dreaming that you'd ever leave.
I really thought we had it all,
Until you caused me to fall.
Pushing me so hard to the ground,
Landing in the dirt, my face down.
And as I got up, wiped myself clean,
I couldn't believe you were so mean.
Is true love even real,
Or something you pretended to feel?
Is marriage still a solemn vow,
Or something you did just for now?
I guess I was blind and not too smart,
You fooled me while stealing my heart.
All I had to give i willingly gave,
Then gave more becoming your slave.
And now after all is said and done,
I actually feel like I've won.
Knowing now it was all for the best,
Feeling happy, content and all the rest.
