Don't hold the door for me, I can open it myself this time

It is no longer necessary for me to depend on you through our steep and unstable climb

There is no nice way to say this, so I'll just be simple and sincere

"Your services are no longer needed here"

Sometimes I wish that I could turn you inside out to prove that your beauty is only skin deep, for inside you're an ugly and tragic wreak

Oh how I would love to grab the halo that you pretend to wear over your head and tightly wrap it around your nerveless neck

Your manufactured mind only accepts the type of love that is felt for diamond rings and objects that require batteries

These unwanted files of our lacerated love are only taking up space in my hard-drive, so now I'm left with no other option but to erase them by merely pressing these three simple computer keys



The awful truth of your conniving ways began to peek through the stratus clouds after the departure of the opaque haze

You can go swallow the metal pill anytime you please, for you have been deceased in my mind for the past three days

You can delete those plans out of your head of possibly being my future wife

I'll burn everything that your eyes have laid upon or your hands have touched, for I no longer want any traces of you in my life

I have no problem guiding you to the nearest exit and reminding you to watch your step on your way out

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so I don't expect you to take any other alternative route

I once thought that it would be easier to speed though life in drive, but wouldn't I save energy if I kept my heart in park?

The scars of our failed past will heal over time, but they will always leave a permanent malignant mark



...As your translucent shadow vanishes beyond the horizon, one last "goodbye" spills from my mouth and in the wind it will forever fly and flow

My feelings for you have taken a 180-degree turn since the first time our lips joined and said "hello"...



Don't show me the way to the edge, I can find the way to our downfall with my own two eyes

I no longer desire for your assistance in the midst of your advancing army and my bleak battle cries

There is no painless way to explain this, so I'll just whisper in your ear

"Reality is often the opposite of how it originally appears"

At times I imagine of turning you upside down to show that you only shit out of your mouth and talk out of your ass

Oh how I would enjoy ripping your world apart like white lined paper into the tiniest imaginable shreds, scattering you into the wind and upon the dead, dried up grass

I'm about to toss the remains of our relationship into the recycle bin, so speak now of forever keep a still tongue as I pull the corrupted cord

Toxic tears of joy will fill my arid eyes as my feeble fingers painfully press those three benevolent buttons on the dusty and bloodstained keyboard



The brilliant lies of your love for me began to awake from hibernation following the sound of the truth alarm

You can spontaneously combust in the approaching hours for all I care, because my soul has been set on fire ever since you brought me into the battle unarmed

You can eliminate all those visions out of your mind of forever being an important part of my life

I'll carve out my memories and feelings for you and slit my venom filled veins where my blood once ran with this salacious switchblade knife

I do not mind at all showing you the shortcut to our Armageddon to make sure we won't arrive late

The quickest path to a destination is a direct course, ergo, I will not anticipate you running in circles or a figure eight

I used to believe that it would be more rewarding to keep going forward in drive without rest, but wouldn't it eliminate the pain if in neutral I forever stay?

The black rain clouds overhead will part in time, but the sky as far as the eye can see will always be gray



...As your lifeless corpse disappears in the distance, one last "goodbye" sneaks between the stitches and in the ocean it will always float and flow

The way I look at you has taken a U-turn since the day our eyes first met and blinked "hello"...



...I stab you in the heart as you stab me in the back and we recite "hello" in unison when we realize that everything we had built is about to collapse to the frigid floor and die

Looking through your eyes as you're staring back into mine, wishing we never had to say "goodbye"...
