goodbye

once you were a friend,
companion and soothing elixir;

my perfect pal who never let me down

like a reward after work or play,
we became inseparable.

it seemed we could go on blissfully forever...

alas, slowly our relationship changed;
no longer were you content with our
social affair...

you wanted more-
to start my day,
take you to work,
be my dinner date,
and stay up late.

i was being robbed-
of my freedom, health and happiness.

the laughter we once shared
turned to anger-
contentment to frustration-
hope to fear.

why me,
why now?

parting was tough,
we were so close, for so long.
the memories still linger;
why can't it be like it was?

I must say goodbye

perhaps in the future,
our paths will converge;
but for now, it has to be
farewell my old friend.

you cheated, you lied,
you said it would be forever...

our time is over and it's for the best,
no need to place blame or protest.
