Violin (Photo credit: pellaea)
I withdraw from you
I’m moving further for a safer view
I decline your voice
I used to kid myself I had a choice
Ah then, but we both know
You played me like a violin on show
I disavow all you
Have said and done and put me through
I decline your charm
You’ll find another who will take your arm
And let our history show
I knew you better when I let you go
I withdraw my heart
I fared much better once we were apart
I detest your name
And all the pettiness you trade for fame
And in the end we’ll know
There was no further left for us to go

My oh my! Right on the nose again! Great post! xx
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
People need to step back to get a proper view of me. I’m too wide to take in at close range.
LOL!! 🙂 🙂
“And let our history show
I knew you better when I let you go” so true and knew yourself better as well i’d wager.
Very true, thank you!! 🙂
