Leaving

The sun beats down upon my face
I sit here longing for a final embrace
I can still hear your voice, I can taste
Every kiss that we shared can’t be erased

Knowing you’re gone just makes it hurt more
‘Cause I know you won’t walk back through that door
And I can sit here crying forever on the floor
But you already left me alone with this war

I fight in my head to keep him away
I use all my willpower to keep him at bay
I can only do so much till my power decays
But I swore to myself we’d gone our own ways

You always told me you saw through my lies
But you didn’t notice when the passion died
You never saw the pain in my eyes
When you told me to go, to live my own life

And I stayed, because I know I can’t leave
I can’t be away no matter how hard I plead
I can’t run from the fate chosen for me
The gods chose us together, it’s our destiny

Maybe I’m the only one
Who sees you as my sun
The race I must run
Til my life is done

So I’ll hold onto this heart
Shattered and torn apart
Full of holes and stitch marks
Until I find its counterpart
