Bon voyage! The time has come to say goodbye. I’m not sure who has been supporting who but the love affair is over. I’ve met someone new and it’s time to move on. I wish I could say something positive about our time together but let’s face it; you’ve tried to kill me for 20 years.
What I thought were fond memories weren’t. Delusions of happiness are easy to believe when you think there is nothing else to believe in. Pain is easy to mask when whispers tell you everything is going to be ok. Being sad can look a lot like being content when that’s what you’ve been for so long. Yes, the love affair is over and the light of being truthful to me and others has cast you to the shadows. This is where you’ll stay now, trapped for eternity.
I know you’ll fight it but I am strong. I know you’ll scream but I am deaf. I know you will cry for me but I am indifferent. Where I was your prisoner and you my prison, I am now your jail and jailer. You will try to escape and I will stop you.
Hate, fear, resentment, pain and sadness, destruction, wreckage, anger and murderous tendencies — these were our offspring. May they rest peace. Or take them with you as I have no place for them any longer.
As I said, I’ve found someone new; a brave and caring person. A person I’ve known for a long time but lost contact with. This person is honest and capable of giving love as well as receiving it. A person with empathy and character. It’s me man. That’s who I am. That’s who I was and who I am going to be.
It’s time. Goodbye.
