Goodbye

I sit here with a tear in my eye,
wondering why I had to say goodbye.
But, then I think once more,
of how I was burned to the core.
I think of all my past,
in how many ways we contrast.
I thought we were meant for each other,
but every time I was with you, my aura changed color.
I was a completely different person,
I write in print, but with you...it was cursive.
I'm tired of pain everywhere I look,
My heart is what you took.
I broke you many times as well,
and for that I'm truly sorry.
I believe it's better for me to walk away,
so neither of us would have to say...
Goodbye once more.
