Adios

Forsaken by your simple mind,
makes my life dance,
I wave goodbye.

Your selfish ways, always unkind,
desperate to take,
what others find.

I elevate, then feel your sigh,
all eyes are shut,
or simply blind.

The games you play are well outlined,
manipulate,
until confined.

Entrapment with no reason why,
just entertain,
your hidden side.

You like to laugh as others cry,
to see through you,
hurts me inside.

Not knowing all you chose to hide,
so glad that I
opened my eyes.

I hold my tongue, release all binds,
no wish for luck,
or evil grind.

Our lives no longer intertwine,
never look back,
past thoughts remind.

Instead, my heart chooses to fly,
under the sun,
pure and divine.
