We started something that I wish for the life of me I could take back.
The part of my heart I gave that I will never get back.
As I sit here in my thoughts I cannot believe the memories were worth any of it.
The time spent in a lost endeavor, wasted never to be seen again.
That leads me to then think of what I took from you, pain caused and memories acquired.
It saddens me how the whole situation transpired between us.
I am a better man for the scars I have obtained.
What tried to kill me only made me stronger.
I can now comprehend the pain of others in a light I never could before.
Though the lashes went deep I must thank you for destroying me.
Freed I was to seek after what I was called to at the dawn of existence.
From the ashes I was rebuilt into the man I’ve always known I was created.
It has taken a year but I know now what I must do.
Goodbye forever my first love, buried you I have in the coffin of my heart.
Now fade away into my distant past, never to remember again.
