Astoria (poem)

(inspired by Marianas Trench's album "Astoria")

I gave into sickness,

into my own madness,

where you're always here,

as this love story goes.

Can you find forgiveness

for my weakness,

for letting the story rule,

and losing myself to it?

Can you forgive a dear old friend,

so my heart can mend,

recover from all the times it has broken,

and all the times it has broken another's?

So this story can end,

so this fiction can end,

so I can let love rest,

and give up on ever after.

I'll always adore you,

but this is overdue,

and I wish this was easy,

but this is goodbye.
