Let Me Go

Let me go with dignity and grace,
But let's not pretend we can move forward
Don't pretend this is worth a fight
Because if it was you would
Have already made the effort

Tell me it is over
Let me go without delay
Stop telling me you care when
You have already forgotten my name

You told me this was real,
You told me you cared
In the end you played me like
A game to win
To conquer
And move on to the next

You walk away from me so easily
Disregard my feelings so callously
Then play off them so pretentiously
I am left in the emotional ruins
Of thoughts and words from the past
Foolishly having faith for a future
But "future" was never an intention
You wanted to make
