One's Final Courage

[Capn_Chantal]

The Courage I Gained

So you wrote me a letter

every word held your feelings

I threw it a way

as a method of dealing

 

With all the things that you said

and all the things that lost meaning

They held no value to me

Of my mind, I was cleaning

 

You'd think that I'd care

the idea tickles your soul

Your words they don't phase me

But in my heart there's a hole

 

Because you left me one day

and this letter says you're sorry

Though what I know, what I feel

and what I saw tells a different story

 

It tells me your cruel

and you lie and you cheat

you'd say anything to get your way

Even cause my own defeat

 

But come time you'd whisper

explain that it was a mistake

You were drunk, you were high

and you didn't mean it that way

 

Only 'cause you don't want it to end

So The torment goes on

Continues to spiral

until I admit I was wrong

 

Wrong for taking you in again

Wrong for saying those three words

so that you would manipulate

And in my heart it would hurt

 

So when you sent me that letter

I made it clear that from this day

I never wanted you back

And that you should just stay away.
