Literature Text

You left me crying one evening
In the Autumn rain
Cursing teardrops on my phone,
And in my heart I already knew
That you weren't coming home

Still I tried my best
Working to fix our love
That should have been an amputee
Because when something dies
You cut it off
You don't leave it to fester and bleed

It still breaks my heart
When I think of you,
And I know we've both moved on
So I hope someday you read this note
I hope you see that you weren't wrong

I prayed so long for a miracle
After you left me for dead
I know it may seem immature
There was nothing to do but beg

And a nameless god delivered
He sent me sex, company, and lust,
And held back love
Until my heart was healed
Until again I learned to trust

Wherever you are I wish you well,
And that's not easy to do
It's hard to not wish vengeance
After all you put me through

I wish you hope
I wish you luck
I wish you love, but not from me
Without the pain
I would have never seen
What it means to truly be free
I have better.

The last stanza is one of the most powerful things I have had the pleasure to read on deviantART. Wow. Thanks for capturing that part of us that wishes nothing for the best for those who may exit our lives but to whom we are always connected.
