to:then from:now

From this moment forward,

You stay here. Here.

You were then,

And I am now.

 

I have become something,

I used to hide.

I do need people,

But not always.

 

I am the standard,

To some.

To those that appreciate,

Everything I am.

 

I am a lie,

To you,

The one that fails,

To remember.

 

My laughter

Is now,

Contagious,

And real.

 

Each day  

Presents something

Great

Before these eyes.

 

I have said,

All I can,

I have done

All I want.

 

Time is

Everything,

As I watch

This countdown.

 

Its ticking,

To my end.

To your end,

To our end.

 

The end

Has come,

Neither of  us

Care.

 

Cold hearted

You sit,

Warm spirited

I run.

 

The past

Is not

A lie

For me.

 

I believe

Everything

It used

To be.

 

You cringe

At the thought

Of me

Replacing you.

 

I walk

Away.

With a better

Understanding.

 

You stand,

Confused,

Yet craving,

What I have.

 

The bottle

In your hand.

Papers

On the floor.

 

You write

Stories of me

For others

To find.

 

Warnings

Of love,

Sit

At your feet.

 

You

Walked out

In your head

Long ago.

 

I played

The field,

Always

In the game.

 

Art

Reflects my soul.

Everything

That is inside.

 

Selfish

I used to be.

Now,

I share.

 

Raw,

I stand,

For all

To see.

 

3 pages,

4 days,

Nothing

Will remain.

 

These words

Are for you.

For you

To know.

 

To know

I still think,

About the one

You are.

 

I know,

That you sit,

Silent, with tears

In your eyes.

 

Your plan

Has failed,

Because

I forgive.

 

All I wanted

Was for you

To see a piece

Of who I am.

 

Who I am

Is not

Who I was

That one time.

 

My eyes burn

From the lack

Of sleep

This week.

 

Projects,

Life,

Have all hit

At once.

 

I guess

You’re somewhat

Right, when you say,

I have moved.

 

Moved on,

And out,

Of that phase,

You claim.

 

Words disappear,

So have we.

We have changed,

Apart from each other.

 

Individuals,

With history,

Stand side by side,

No words to say.

 

Next to me,

With no

Expression,

You stare.

 

Blank and cold,

Its all I recall,

From those

Late nights.

 

Curious and sly,

Is all I

Tried

To hide.

 

These words,

Will fade,

Just like

Those days.

 

Those days,

Hang

On your walls,

And mine.

 

And you

Yes YOU,

Will remain,

Only in that moment.

 

That moment,

Of then.

 

This moment,

Is now.

 

From this point forward,

You are not erased, not forgotten,but

You, you will no longer appear,

In this life ahead.
