c ' e s t   f i n i t
the emptiness i thought would come
isn't there.
and instead i feel a vast relief
it almost makes me feel guilty
for feeling this
when i remember seeming centuries ago
that time i told you
that i couldn't go on without you.
but you're just not worth the aggravation
or the searing pain.
i just got tired of playing dress-up with you.
now i'm outside your little black box
beyond the portals of our minds
and the only satisfaction i stand without
is to see that look of defeat upon your face
'cause you know i've won.
you can keep your heart in that box now
if it exists only to keep you alive
we both know it holds no other purpose than that
you won't let it.
i'm a better person now
because i made me this way
and, yes
because you're gone.
