I didn't lose you,
I gave you away.
To alleviate their pain,
even though your memory will stay.
But oh how i miss you,
each passing day.
You were there for me,
always knew what to say.
When you needed me most,
It was your trust I did betray.
You've left this place and me as well,
perhaps its better to also part ways.
You can start anew with a slate wiped clean,
to focus on the future and not all you wish to unsay.
I was cruel and I left without warning,
thinking it was better to runaway.
Make it quick and effective,
and then hope and pray.
It was causing pain to those closest to me,
I would fix it if I may.
But the only way to do that,
was to give you away.
So I hope you find peace,
happiness out in the vast grey.
But also know why I did it,
and forgive me someday.
Oh I loved you like a brother,
but some people go astray.
