Letter Never Sent

Don't leave me feeling beautiful.
Don't kiss me one last time.
Turn away as we cut these strings,
give me a silent end; a last goodbye.

Remind me of the good times,
scare away the bad.
But don't leave me here waiting,
hoping you weren't the best I've had.

Your clock moves forward,
the seconds ticking down.
But me, I'm standing, stuck and lost
wishing you'll be there when I'm found.

Don't leave me feeling beautiful.
Don't smile and wish the best.
Cut the ties, say your goodbyes.
Don't worry, I'll burn the rest.
