The Final Serenade

Said the grass is always greener when I’m begging for more

But what I left you behind, dare I implore?

I seeded this land, I watered these flowers 

Flooded them with the tears of ours 

Still nothing grows without the sun to tend 

And ripped seams don’t magically re-mend

I’ve had enough of asking 

Of creating the light you bask in  

Oh, the breath I save

The peace I crave 

The disenchantment you displayed    

I’m better off unswayed 

This time, I’m brave

Brave enough to put the effort in 

To take back my everything 

And in time, I grow up towards the stars 

And reclaim for myself what once was ours 

I was the sun, and you the moon 

You wore my light, and dulled my tune 

This is an everlasting song

The right to my every wrong 

A love letter to the skies I’ll soon adorn 

The death before I am reborn
