Burning Bridges is never easy, but it must be done.

The cold dark night keeps me company as I look out my window tonight.
Staring at nothing, thinking of everything.

I can still picture your smile,
I can still hear your laughter,
I can still smell your scent.
Your touch lingers on my naked skin,
So vivid that it pains me.
Knowing that you were never really there.

My hand caresses the only thing I have of you.
A glistening gold chain wrapped around my neck.
A bond that once meant a promise that was never kept.

The cold wind blows softly on my cheeks,
Yet it does nothing to numb the ache and pain within me.
For the stream of my wet warm tears, burn and scald my face.

I’ve waited much longer than my strength can endure.
This chain which once wrapped around my neck beautifully,
Is now a burden I’ve carried for too long.

Its weight was my anchor.
My reason to wait for that shadow that will never come.
It was my excuse.

I’m taking it off now.
I don’t need it anymore.
I am ready for the wind to sail me away,
To a world farther than where I was stuck.
To a place where I can be free of you.

Be happy for me.
I’ve finally found myself again.
