One last goodbye

One foul swoop and they were over
There wasnt a fighting bone left in her voice
It was like she was lost
Like we had lost her spirit over the time that had been and we hadn't even noticed
To look up to someone, to hope one day you'd be as lucky
To be looking into the faded once glistening eyes
To hear the lack of care
To know the final line had been drawn and there was nothing i could do
I couldn't help them
I couldn't make them
I couldn't clear up the mess as there was just nothing left
Years had been all made up of them
Pictures felt scattered in so many memories
Wrapped up in so much family
Yet now just a once upon a time
A past thought
A behind us now story
We all just sit and wait
Watch the dreams and pedastal collapse with the weight of lies told
Engraved in the years
For the tale to end
To be over
The book ended sooner than anyones expectations or dreams could ever be prepared for
Exhausted and drained
Because there love went away
And that is the way it is
One foul swoop and they were over
No longer an us or a we
But a this is what they used to be
Just a he and a her
Direction got blurred
The love got burnt
