Final Relapse

Because now I’m just a name,
And you’re some broken link,
And the other way around.

Because I’ve set myself free,
As you’ve found your sacred place,
And chose who should be around.

Because I’m up on my feet,
And you’re in her arms,
And you don’t have to say it,
I know.

Because it still aches,
And yours does not,
And that’s the way it is.

Because it was a mistake,
Or perhaps, not,
But it’s here all the same.

Because I’ve found my peace,
And where I’ll never be back,
And finally, I can sleep tonight.
