Goodbye Old Friend

Goodbye old friend,

I've turned my back,

You said you were helping,

But you kept me off track.

Goodbye old friend,

You caused me pain, 

You said I deserved to lose what I lost,

But you didn't tell me what I would gain.

Goodbye old friend,

You told me to cut,

You said that the blood helped ease the feeling,

But those wounds you helped me shut.

Goodbye old friend,

You were very wrong,

Those gloomy chimes inside of me,

Turned in to such a beautiful song.

Goodbye old friend,

I have found my peace,

I've closed that lid,

And your existence will cease.

Goodbye old friend,

I have started a new,

And by saying goodbye,

I wholeheartedly grew.
