Final Stand
by John Michael Ray

It's funny how you've inspired me more in 5 months apart, than you ever did the whole 3 years we were together. Your 1/2 truths and propaganda are only going to make me rich beyond my means.

I just love the spin you've put on the actual events of our relationship and ultimate breakup. I have to laugh at your delusional thinking and using those delusions and illusions to justify what you have become. I say what, as opposed to who, because you are 'nothing' now.

The only thing sadder than all of this, is the fact you've surrounded yourself with friends and family that actually believe in you and what you are telling them.

I have never thought of revenge. I don't have to. Make no mistake, your world will one day come crashing down, all on its own. That, I would love to have a front row seat to. Then again, I'll have something better to do with my time, than waste any more on someone like you.

I could never, ever trust you with any emotion of mine anymore. I was the one person in this world you could always count on as a soft place to land. There were no strings attached, ever. You've wasted so much negative emotion, and negative energy on things that weren't important in the whole scheme of things.

I listened to countless, ex-husband issues, children issues, parent issues, sibling issues, friend issues, and even ex-boyfriend issues. And yes, even issues about my ex-wife and daughter. Through all of it, I preached one theme to you, forgiveness and letting go. But you can't let go and find your inner peace. All you have succeeded in doing, is adding another chapter to it all. For that I feel a sadness towards you. But that is probably just a sadness towards the veneer of you. I've only known the real you for a very short time.

My biggest fault in all this, is sometimes losing my way. All you have done is fraudulently forged your way.


The Song

Hot summer nights of sweat and inspiration
Climbing from the depths of hell
A new beginning, a new sensation
Only serves to do me well
The facts of life, of who we are
Have taken one hell of a spin
As the lies unfold, the truth gets sold
Cast away and reel them in

And as I make my final stand
My back is to the wind
As I make my final stand
Surrounded by my friends
As I make my final stand
The road rises up to meet me
As I make my final stand
The gods rise up to greet me

Cold winter nights of chills and satisfaction
To thine own self be true
Life is illusional, belief is delusional
The moments are precious but few
No more emotion over nothing at all
Trust crashing to the ground
No wasting of time, sweet vengeance is mine
It all comes crashing down

And as I make my final stand
My back is to the wind
As I make my final stand
Surrounded by my friends
As I make my final stand
The road rises up to meet me
As I make my final stand
The gods rise up to greet me

As I make my final stand
I'll lose my way no more
As I make my final stand
To fraudulently forged
As I make my final stand
Let go of the score
As I make my final stand
Forgiveness is a whore
As I make my final stand
The issues grab ahold
As I make my final stand
Time will take its toll
As I make my final stand
No mercy, no control
As I make my final stand
May peace be with your soul

And as I make my final stand...
