Plans We Once Made

To rest they have been laid,
All the plans we once made,
The pictures that we once painted,
Are now just smeared and tainted,
The good times we once had,
Now have all just went bad,
Yet we just can't explain,
Why all we see is hurt and pain,
The good times are all forgotten,
Our memory is of only what is rotten,
The Love we both have tasted,
Is now time that we simply wasted,
Looking to others for advice,
Of each other we don't think twice,
Once each other we only wanted to please,
Now I am gone like the breeze,
No reason to look back,
When we talk we attack,
Not the way it's supposed to be,
But that's all that we can see,
No reason to pretend,
This my dear is the end,
Please don't you cry,
As I kiss your cheek and say Good Bye,
Let's end it as we should,
Remembering what was good,
We both did our best,
That it would end who could have guessed?
