the one that broke the camel's back

she's just another skank
to add to your extensive list
another name, another face
so why has she become the final straw?

the days since we've spoken
grow and deepen
you and I are so far apart
how long since I've heard you speak?

during the day I see and hear
things that remind me of you
then go to bed and cry
when will that nightly routine end?

you're making it easier
to let go and walk away
stop wishing, stop hoping
why wait around when you won't?

my heart was always yours
I lay it to rest at your feet
it will stay, but I won't
what else is there to do?

her name set me free
from the hold of first love
have fun. I'm done
what does tomorrow hold in store?
