Because I had to

You walked on, far and away, reached the limits of time inside my head
In an instant you are back, breaking the fragile shield

You chose to leave, ripped my soul apart, and here you still live
Hidden in the corners of my mind.

I saw your eyes, and unleashed the force, my dearest failure
With your uncovered truth, I see my loss

The distance is strong, and admirably unbeatable
I apologize to my broken memories, my wounded heart and my silenced words

But inside myself you live! Like a convict hiding from Justice
I let you in, with the condition that you would never be alive again

But I can see the pain, reflected in the purest form of fear
That one that you don’t believe it could exist

Until you feel it.

You walked on and far away. And in the path you left, are found
The ashes of that life... that time took charge to blow away.

Nice -- courageous, sincere, and mature. I really liked the opening and closing ("you walked on and far away"): sad but "above it", somehow. Has the feeling of a ghost finally conquered. I hope that's what it is! (P.S. I loved "dearest failure")

Now give the ashes to the winds.

I read this response again, and I felt a lot of comfort... you got it right again, completely right...

How do you handle dear failures?
