Dew You Know

Take 4:

I knew going in that I only wanted out
I wash my hands of this rejection
Battling the attraction that was thick in the air
You could lift it off his words
And trace it on my skin

And I took myself
One last time
And gave all of me to him
And he made plans to congratulate me
Treating me like the Queen
Before now He didn't realize I was
He, not realizing it's too late

I stood on my feet
After lying down too long
And held back the tears
Of a past he refuses to acknowledge
And a furture he refuses to accept

My intent was pouring from my lips
Replacing the tears fighting to be seen
Step on my hands
Because they need something to hold
Since it can no longer be him

I had always despised relationships
What they stood for
And how they lead sensible people
To senseless endings
Like this

Now I begin again
Alone
Now I start fresh
Though tainted
Worn
Lighter

'I will say this
I hope you find
What you are looking for'
In his new place
On his quest for his new self

Please dont hug me
You know I dont know how to let go
Please just Stand there
Let me Leave
You've pushed me away this far
I can finally walk the rest of the way

Head held high
Holding back the pins in my eye
Holding onto the memories
Of the talks under the sky
In the middle of me and you
You and I
And now
We must move on
Now we must move on
On our own
And I dont want to be okay
I want to be angry
And fly off the handle
But you sent me so many places
I have no lift off left
In these Wings
only rain

Take care of your cargo
Far better than before
I wrapped it for you
It was hard with all the pieces
But hold onto my heart
While I attempt to let go
Of a dream
