The Peak
It started out light and peachy
We were two of a kind
Peas in a pod
You were mine
and I was yours
Then slowly this mask peeled back
To reveal an unknown face
A face that I've seen a glimpse of before
This glimpse was.. ugly and putrid
A shade that reminded me of my darkest fears
Colors of characteristics
Rude
Judgmental
Mean
Ungrateful
Once upon a time a promise was a challenge
A challenge that you would strive to complete just to see me smile
And now I'm caught in this never ending maze of disappointment and empty promises
Once upon a time I could have shared my deepest worries and secrets with you
And now
..nothing
Now I have a journal filled with a million secrets
Now I have a journal filled with a list of broken promises and dates where I've had my heart broken
Once upon a time we had it all
You were mine
And I was yours
Two peas in a pod
Best friends yet lovers at the same time
It's funny how love works
As much as I'd love to run
I can't
We've had too many good times
Yet, just as many bad
I can't push myself to throw this away
Even though this journey was
Amazing while it lasted
It's time to say
Something I should've said long ago
We've reached the zenith of a great ride
And as much as it kills me
I must say
Good-Bye
