“FAREWELL MY DEAR”

The fire around me thickens
Betrayal scalding hot
You think he got the best of me
The best of him is what I got.
My eyes no longer see color
They've turned from blue to black
It's really not revenge I want
I can promise I don't want you back
You feel so secure with your choices
You think any second I'll break
Thinking you knew me at all my dear
Was your most fatal mistake
You think my heart is breaking
That I'm crying over you
But I'm laughing like hell fully knowing
The player gets played times two
What's done has been done and it's over
But I smile as I sit here and write
I won't be alone forever my dear
My bark isn't worse than my bite
Farewell to you my twisted teacher
I'm living my dreams and my passions
You'll never do better than me my dear
As your dreams burn from color to ashes
