Fin

I find myself slowly forgetting you
 Ain't it a shame that's how this ends
 For oh so long we shared a bed
 Shared a life and now instead
 Merely strangers once again
 I thought I'd write for you an elegy
 I thought I'd kill us with a verse
 But still there something lingers on
 Like a melancholy song
 Too nostalgic to forget
 Complications arose
 Like a worm from a rose
 Eating up everything
 And though you tried to make it work
 Your baby greets you with a smirk
 Leaving nothing left to do, nothing to say
 So I'll say this
 Songbirds will sing from your trees
 Pretty melodies
 Far better than me
 Flowers will bloom at your feet
 Or something more discreet
 Like a breeze amidst the heat
 Oh what a way
 To let someone get away like this
 Might be best to not look back
 And I still see you in my bed
 With the sheets over your head
 To block the light from the TV
 Set resentments aside
 Let me swallow my pride
 You gave me everything
 If not for you I wouldn't be me
 You showed me all this boy could be
 And so I'll thank you
 And I'll leave you with this bittersweet goodbye
 Songbirds will sing from your trees
 Pretty melodies
 Far better than me
 Flowers will bloom at your feet
 Or something more discreet
 Like a breeze amidst the heat
 Suitors will rush to your door
 Begging you for more
 But you're much more than they deserve
 And I'll be a friend, not a foe
 Anywhere you go
 Until the very end
