The End of Acceptance
Why
Won’t my hand let go?
Holding on for dear life
To what is no longer
I hold on even though
It is a limp body
No more breath
In the lungs
The heart has lost its beat
the skin now
becomes cold
My heart is cold
My heart is empty
I don’t want to accept
that this is the end
You think I'm over-emotional
You just don’t understand
How it makes me feel
hearing you say
"This is the end..."
I must not have been good enough
Or there’s always someone better
But to me you were
My heart's end
You call me obsessed
Go ahead
Call me whatever else
I know that all it is
Was that
that was
and is
Never wanted to let go
How I wish
I had another
To give my heart
to give my mind
But I’ve lost my energy
I’ve lost my heart
perhaps it is being buried
I look down
As the casket is lowered into the ground
I turn
And walk from there
Theres no Acceptance
only
A Dead End
