Broken Heart

Goodbye

As I dismantle the remnants of what's left of my life
I feel my heart growing cold and my soul going numb.
Knowing you don't love me anymore is killing me,
I just wish it would literally and not figuratively.


Knowing you don't want me in your life I just can't bear it.
I just want to run and run until my heart stops beating.
I don't want to be here knowing you can't stand it anymore.
But I have to for a time while I get my affairs in order.


I have been homeless before but not like how I am about to be.
I'm so scared with nowhere to go, not know what's ahead.
But I don't want to be a burden to you, using you as you say.
But the day is close when you won't have to think about me.


I just can't imagine life without you again like I lived years before.
Therefore I can only pray that the end of my life comes quick.
This is not how I want my life to conclude, I want to live for you.
But I can only blame myself for everything that has happened.

How can you just let me go out into the unknown
Knowing I have nothing to fall back on, no safety net?
No matter what, I would never do this to you, my love.
But oddly enough I do understand your reasons, I've hurt you.


I failed you miserably, I'm just a loser with nothing but failures.
I should have done more but I wanted to succeed on my own.
But it's obvious that it isn't going to happen, or that it ever will.
I have failed at everything in my life and above all I have failed you.


Now I am paying for my shortcomings and your voice cuts me deep.
To hear that cold, unfeeling and indifferent tone I hear now
Is more than I can bear and it hurts deeper than you know.
I don't want to hear it and I pray each night for God to take me away.


So like a wounded animal I will just go off and die alone without love.
There is nothing left for me, nothing I can do to save myself now.
Believe me when I say that I don't want it to end this way, I don't.
But what else is there for me? I have no other options to consider.


So when I pull out of the drive for the last time leaving my life behind
And looking in the rearview mirror as my home disappears from view
I will cry one last time shedding those final tears with a lump in my throat
And I will whisper my final goodbye, my last I love you to you, JJ.


For Christmas Eyes is now gone and forever lost to you.
