Title: goodbye

Poem: I have reached the end as they say
No longer can I maintain
any semblance of normality or sanity
My memories are swept away
as I spiral in this maddening loop
of passionate fire and fragile ice
So many friends and loved ones gone
pushed away by my corrupted self

I look ahead within my life
and hope the road goes somewhere nice,
but the road is bent and turns circular
In 30 years what would I have?
A longer list of lovers lost
30 years of more regret

I wish I could have changed
these things that I have done
But I cannot change them
I can only leave them behind
I can only prevent them

It is better this way
I will be free of this...
