I'm gonna break my rusty cage... and run
Making the decision to cut someone out of your life entirely is really hard. Even when they don't deserve a fraction of the love or kindness or loyalty you've shown them. Those are things that people should earn, at least to some extent.
At least I know, despite whatever minor awkwardness happens among our mutual friends, despite certain professional opportunities I may have lost out on (or which may have been yet more empty promises), I KNOW that I'm way better off. I will never give my heart away so blindly again.
Nothing's so loud...
as hearing when we lie.
Truth is not kind,
and you said neither am I...
Nothing's so cold...
as closing the heart,
when all we need
is to free the soul...
but you wouldn't be that brave,
I know
and it won't matter now...
whatever happens will be...
though the air speaks of all we'll never be,
you won't trouble me..."
