One Last Poem by Joanna Patino

One last tear i shed
For my feelings for you are dead
One last cry
I let slip by
One last time i sink
One last time my heart will shrink
I won't cringe to your name
I won't back down in shame
I'll be stubborn and never look back
To keep each heartbeat on track
Stupid lies won't get to me
For your words don't mean anything
I'll look you straight in the face
And not feel any pain
I'll wake up each day
And not feel the restlessness of rage
I'll repair myself slowly
And finally let myself breathe
I'll see the light at the end
And not be scared for i have friends
I might not have you anymore
But I'm glad for your departure
For it has pushed away the storm
