Arrived

Now that I have
Arrived, away,
And the journey dreaded ended that day;
Already the pain has lost
It's edge...

Already it begins to
Remove the influence
It once held on
The rationale
Relinquishes the stronghold of my mind
And allows a happy, light hearted thought through...

But now that it's leaving
I don't want it to go
Because i know that if it does
The memories will follow
And I don't want to lose them
They are all that will hold me in check
Keep me from releasing my anger
On schoolmates in september

I don't WANT it to go,
But it leaves anyway
It knows it has won,
And thus it leaves the fray.
In desperation i try to keep it around
To keep the memories sharp,
And stop them going round.

Soon memories will fade
But it will take longer for you
You know who you are, don't you,
Jordan liu?
Perhaps, but i don't
I've lost my true self
In the raucus of travel,
And the adrenaline high
Caused by a missing dog
Begins to unravel
The shield that keeps the pain both at bay
And within.

and if i can help it,
I will NOT forget you,
You will be a guidline,
A new golden rule that i will follow forever,
Perhaps adding things, but never subtracting from
The base that is
you.
