If only you would fade away

via Daily Prompt: Clean

You chose to leave,
one fine day,
and let me alone to grieve.
Struggling in pain,
all attempts,
to cheer in vain,
I cried alone,
missing you,
with nowhere to go.
I couldn’t bear,
even a single thought,
of the song we sang together.
I thought I could never,
forget you or forgive you.
I would never recover.

Time carried me on,
against my will,
to a brand new lawn.
I now feel,
the tender grass,
brush against my heel.
I breathe in,
close my eyes,
the breeze kisses my skin.
I look around,
it’s so beautiful,
I am astound.

What was I doing,
crying over you,
wasting my life moping?
There is so much more,
in this world,
for me to explore.
You are not my Sun,
for my life to revolve around.
A new chapter has now begun.

I dare to dance to that song,
but memories of you,
slowly trickle along.
At once I realize,
I haven’t forgotten,
your eyes,
or forgiven,
your lies.
I haven’t wiped,
my slate Clean
of your thoughts,
No, not quite.

You aren’t good for me,
I know, but my heart,
wouldn’t just see.
Will I ever redeem,
myself of you?
May be one day,
you’ll finally seem,
like a dream,
that I once had,
lost forever,
from my memory.

-Yuhu!

Yuhu’s corner:
Many a times, we think we have moved on. But really, have we?
