No, We Can’t Be Friends

You were a burning light in a dark cold night
Fire extinguished, now just swirls of smoke take flight
I release you from my dreams with peace
Go on, get out of here, your warmth has ceased
There’s a believer out there who may trust those arms to hold her
Your branches only burden, only weaken this flower
Maybe clocks can bandage the space you left bruised and bent
I want miles between me and your scent
Too close for me to lose myself in another
I want to forget you were once my lover
So no, we can’t stay friends nor acquaintances, just say goodbye
My friends don’t lie, nor steal, nor hurt me so bad I could die.
