Fin

I find myself slowly forgetting you Ain't it a shame that's how this ends For oh so long we shared a bed Shared a life and now instead Merely strangers once again I thought I'd write for you an elegy I thought I'd kill us with a verse But still there something lingers on Like a melancholy song Too nostalgic to forget Complications arose Like a worm from a rose Eating up everything And though you tried to make it work Your baby greets you with a smirk Leaving nothing left to do, nothing to say So I'll say this Songbirds will sing from your trees Pretty melodies Far better than me Flowers will bloom at your feet Or something more discreet Like a breeze amidst the heat Oh what a way To let someone get away like this Might be best to not look back And I still see you in my bed With the sheets over your head To block the light from the TV Set resentments aside Let me swallow my pride You gave me everything If not for you I wouldn't be me You showed me all this boy could be And so I'll thank you And I'll leave you with this bittersweet goodbye Songbirds will sing from your trees Pretty melodies Far better than me Flowers will bloom at your feet Or something more discreet Like a breeze amidst the heat Suitors will rush to your door Begging you for more But you're much more than they deserve And I'll be a friend, not a foe Anywhere you go Until the very end
