This Love


   This love,

that's breaking me down.

The names i've been called,

the hurtful things you say.

     This love,

the one haunting me.

Why can't i just let you go?

Erase you from my memory.

     You're no longer needed here.

The bruises or mental scars.

The evidence fades away,

however the pain lingers.

     Someday i know it'll all be okay,

and the days we spent laughing will all be burried away.

     I'll smile again and feel free.

Free from worry and free from you!
