ARTEMIS AWOKE

Goodbye

Goodbye to my old dreams.
Goodbye to the old me.
I've realised that we can never be,
It was a fantasy.
The safest route to being happy, to being open and powerless.
You made me forget about the feelings of self-hate and being infinitely dirty.
You can't ever love me the same,
Or think of me in the same way that I think of you.
I understand now.
I have to let you go, or at least the part of me that wants to spend every moment with you.
Thrice goodbye to the child in me.
