for old times' sake

how about I write you one last love song for old times' sake?

let me leave you with memories,
and beautiful melodies to remember me by.

how about I write you a poem that helps you heal after I walk right out the door?

let me leave you with broken rhymes
and a lack of structure to remind you
of the broken parts I've done away with.

how about I change the pattern of stars and rewrite the heavens and give you a better destiny?

let me give you the best gifts Mother Nature
has to give.
allow me to bless you with the fruits she's kept
hidden from us for so long.

allow me to be good to you
one last time.
after all,
it is for old times' sake.
