  Cut loose these strings That have bound us By our mutual mistakes Loneliness Causing a hand outstretched A whisper in the dark A passion that should never Have been shared To appease and please Fill in Where sorrow had tread A moment too long A silence too loud An aching heart That bled too red Thanking you For what passed Between And now Beyond Let it have its rest A grave untouched A tear unshed Let it be said That we have forgiven Gifted And no more Spirits set free Better for meeting Better off for letting go.  Friends at one time,  Friends once more,  And nothing further.
