Saving What’s Left

Know this is me
Me letting you go
Out on your own
Without another in tow

I’ve waited alone
Years they went by
Between times of my heart
And I can still do so

My heart falls hard
Easy to break
My trust takes years
But not if you’re weak

So I’ll face this world
With no helping hand
Alone against it
Is where I will stand

If you come back
You bet you’ll be damned
For the hoops I’ve jumped
I wouldn’t wish on anyone

Time will tell
Get me through my hell
Where we will land
Or where I’ll stand

Know of my trust
Insecurities a must
Been smashed before
Slams my door

I won’t put you through
But you’ll still have to prove it
How to regain my trust
If it doesn’t rust

Gave what you asked
Honest from the start
With love from my heart
And now the times marked

But I’m letting go
Moving beyond seas
Its all simple to me
Choose the road no turning back

Time as my guide
Three years gone by
Clear was my head
As dear as the dead

Chose to dance
With you by my side
Gave you my heart
Lost all of my pride

Now I’m chasing my dreams
You’re not yet a memory
These feelings still live
Deep down within me

Placed in my caves
Sealed off by the waves
Is where your love resides
So it can fade from view

Should you come back
Asking my love
It’ll take more this time
Than just our love

I won’t swim back
Down to those depths
We’ll have to start anew
Things will be slower than before

But I’m letting you go
Run away from me
As I walk slowly still
Down my darkened road

To face what will come
As I have long before
I’ll move through the fair
Alone without fear

I’ll go now from you
To fade from the view
See what’s beyond
Our tangled cross roads

Alone I will know
What life has in store
For it will be long before
Oh it will be long

Before I let another in
‘Cause I won’t go
Through that again
No, I’m not going through it again

So goodbye my love
For now I must plow
To see what I can become
All without coming undone

I won’t chase you
May a while longer
I’ll await you
But I won’t hold long

This place it kills me
If I stay too long
So for me I have to move on
Let my love fade away

The memories we have
How they still stab
Slowly kill me now
But I must move on

I’ll wait a little longer
But each day I’m stronger
If you want me move fast
‘Cause I know this won’t last

I love you my darling
But I’m done free-falling
I’ve wings to spread
To soar all around

I’m close to the ground
Neither lost nor am found
But I’m well on my way
To starting newer days

So search for what’s lost
But still count your costs
My love I’m slipping away
Maybe we’ll be again one day

So for now we shall part
You’ll always live in my heart
Where one day if its meant
We’ll be together again
Sadly until then…
