Goodbye Through The Written Word Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

My dear freind goodbye in a letter sealed away.
Waiting to be open on that perfect day
I left in a place you would find in time.
So you didn't ask me to stay.
I know your angry, but I have to do what's right for me.
And it's not what you hear.
It's not what I fear.
It's not the reason I disappeared.
Everything has a cost, with a gem lost, maybe someday it can be replaced.
Climbing over a mountain in disgrace.
Facing the bitter cold alone, and on my own.
Seeds have been sewn, rocks have been thrown.
A cross to bare.
I dare not compare.
For some roads I have not yet traveled.
The devil has many faces, and just maybe ones behind this forsaken sunrise.
So take off your disguise, I saw right through all your lies.
I loved you all the same, but I just no longer could take the pain.
I don't blame, it's not a game I play.
Everything is gamble, and my life was in shambles.
That was a different person back then.
And I won't defend it, for I knew what I was in for.
So I kind of lied too, but it was never to you, but instead to myself.
But now I can see clearly.
And that changes everything.
We were assuring our mutual destruction.
And leaving wasn't without some reluctance.
So let my absense be a sign you need to move on.
Let happiness once again fill your life.
I will always miss that smile that I haven't seen years.
Raindrops become my tears.
And with the winds of a hurricane memories of you will be seared.
Erased, escaped, another blank page where words use to describe how it felt to be so alive.
But that fire has died, and the spark just no longer survives.
We were just not right, no perfect endings tonight.
Out of the darkness and into the light.
Preparing for a world so bright.
Putting my hand out for a guiding sign.
Knowing there will be no rewind.
