One long year and a lifetime down,
Finally giving up, relinquishing this crown.
Thorns and barbs I've carried it in stride,
In hopes it was gold, with nothing to hide.
Deluding myself, it was worth the long trip,
It's finally reality, not thorns that I grip.
This is goodbye, not for now, but forever,
In knowing what I seek, I know it can never,
Never ever be what I wanted before,
Before this long year, when I found the floor.
My nights and my dreams they're lost in thought,
Devoid of what's good, and what I once sought.
I can't say I'm happy, and won't that I'm sad,
But I know the truth, it's all I've ever had.
Just me, myself, and words on this screen,
Once and for all, I'm quitting this scene.
A hole in my chest, a darkness so black,
Things aren't the same, and I can't go back.
Trapped in this life as I struggle to breathe,
Starting anew, but I will never ever believe,
In true happiness or love, it doesn't exist,
Just this pen in my hand, clenched in my fist.
Goodnight for for now, tomorrow's sun will rise,
It's red light bouncing from my once hopeful eyes.
