Good Luck

I have it in mind to tell it all
To tell you exactly how I want it to be.

Tell me,
When you moved toward the sunset
Without a single word,
Did you think of me?

You took it all,
Every single possession,
Every treasure from every room.

I woke up on the floor
Cold.
You took even the blankets,
though they still had the scent of our sleep.

Our bed was too small for me and you.
So you went, without a whisper
Without a sound.
And everyone still blames me.

My hands are empty, myself depleted
What I gave you was never enough
And as I watch you move farther towards the moon
I hope with spite, you'll never be a star.

When you thought I slept,
I took my chance
And clipped your wings instead.

And no, I won't apologize
Like you never will to me
All I can say is,

"Thank you"
and
"You're Welcome."
