Take Back Nothing

“Take it back!” I shouted in protest, in earnest to defend my honesty, personal integrity Truth be told I don't know why what she spoke was true I'm a fool, I'm no good at least that's what I believe but this world is much more grand than me so I do all I can to help others succeed or at the very least try to aid them to be happy yet here I stand being chewed out to the core by the one I adore for the empty promises I let fall to the floor let her walk to the door shouting every obscenity she conjure from obscurity Here I thought she was purity Is this what she really thought of me a lowlife with no dreams I thought she'd be the death of me to die happy in her arms that's what those vows meant to me that's what the ceremony was supposed to be a sign of forever, a fairytale beginning a happily ever after not the beginning of disaster Now it's boiled down to this I, beaming at my doorway because she's finally leaving today I have the whole place to myself The toxicity is dissipating, there's room to breathe there's room here…too much room… So uh what do I do now… Guess I'll follow suit Follow the sun and the moon go run and chase the sunset burn off the excitement for I know once the moon shines so will my decline Allow me one drink tonight
