Stony Gardens

So, this is what it's come down to…
I'm at a loss for words.

You have been with me for what seems like an eternity
But now it seems that we are to part company

You have been a part of my life for so long
You have become a part of me

Now, you are like a severed limb
Complete in yourself, yet separate from me

Continue on without me
You have an existence of your own

Please do not look back
You will only be face to face with my tears

Although I made the decision
Your heart will bear innumerable burdens

I must face and live with my decision
It will be impossible to reverse it

You will face new challenges; encounter new adventures
I will sink deeper into the blackest pit of human despair

You will find new happiness
You can have mine; I have no need for it

Without you, I'm without myself
You are as much me as I

You are my soul
Now you are gone
I am soulless

Soon I will be a resident of the stony gardens of the soulless
I will feel at home

At last, even without you, I will be complete

Alone, abandoned, forsaken, detached, desolate,
But I will have achieved my own kind of completion.
