I’ve let go as best I can

There’s nothing left to hang onto

So why does some small part of me

Still cling to some small shred of hope

For something I will never have?

It’s painful and it’s pitiful

To tear myself apart again

Every time a little moment

Brings her back to mind

It’s better left forgotten

Or embraced as a memory

A lesson learned the hardest way

And let it lie at that

Because it will never be anything else

The world doesn’t work that way

The silence was her choice

And I don’t have the will or way

To ever actually break it

She’s better off without ne

I just wish I could believe

That I’m better off without her as well

Maybe then I could finally move on
