If I'm not to be
The one you choose
I'll maintain my dignity
As I lose
The only ever thing
That ever made
Me feel complete
And unafraid
Of all that life
Could throw my way
The reason that
I chose to stay
Alive and breathing
When all around
Sought to break
And bring me down
You my love, my only One
Broke the darkness
And brightly shone
Temporary and luminous
A life of Me
was briefly
Us
An existence that I'd never known
A part of me I'd never shown
Exposed my soul, surrendered all
And now it's time
To take the fall
I shan't beg or plead
Won't make demands
You will not leave
With blood on hands
I'll retain my poise
Keep head held high
Aware my heart
Will slowly die
I'll let you go, move on, be free
Looking back you will
Remember me
Not broken
Useless
Full of pain
But complete,
As I was
Before you came.
