Banished

Dear, I loved you to death,
I swore it with every breath.
But you’ll be the death of me.
All I wanted was to try and see
If it would work between you me.
But now I must break free.

Then you uttered my greatest fear
You said “your voice I don’t want to hear,
I swear I’ll never shed a tear.”
Still I miss you.  Sincere.

How on earth could you dare,
Ever think that I don’t care?
You knew this would leave me a scar,
Never knowing how you are.

When you told me it was “her or me”
I knew it wasn’t meant to be.
I knew it had to stop there,
I had to finally clear the air.

Is this what your heart recommends?
For so many years we used to be friends,
Now me, you’d rather not hear or see.
Why’d you have to banish me?
Love is what we never lacked,
Why the final counter-attack?
