Unlock the door
as I come to get my things
feelings and such I've left
lying around in your heart
They've been discarded?
Just as well
I don't want you to get
the wrong impression
I never want you to believe
I could ever love you again
as this is the last straw

I come bearing a question
one I hope you can answer
How can you treat someone
(who cares very much about you)
the way you treated me?

Feeling out of focus
wishing you could know
just how bad the taste
you left in my mouth was
with the harsh words
that seemed semi-automatic
the metallic taste
of cold steel
(plunged through my heart)

A little bit of me is dying
(will I survive? you ask)
Do you hope I must be
co-dependent?
S.O.L.
I apologize profusely
should you be disappointed
but times change
and damsels in distress
aren't who we become

Thank you for the memories
(the happy ones you left me)
you can't take those back
as I threw away the key
(to my heart)
long ago
