Stay Gone

by Lady Nik   Nov 29, 2009


They were right when they said you played hard
I never thought you'd make game board of my heart.
One move to the left and we're on the highest high
One slip up and I'm feeling like it's my time to die.
Who could have predicted this break
I didn't want to believe it, but your love was always fake.

My wounds are now small openings in my past
But the stronger I become, the less I want you back.
The words you whispered to me have melted away
Along with the "Together Forevers" that never stayed.
What doesn't make sense most likely hurts the most.
I'm done with being your hang over drug addicted overdose.

Your love gave me a picture perfect look
Now that it has faded my fairy tale has become a bad book.
I never wanted forever, I wanted day to day
Now that you're gone the glow has returned to my face.
When will you understand that I don't need you here again
Hell and heaven can never blend, we can never be friends.

I won't be waiting in a puddle of tears for you
I won't bleed buckets of blood for your view.
I'm not going to stay up late and let you have my dreams
I won't sugarcoat this, I want you to know what I mean.
I'm not torn up to pieces because you left me alone
There's peace in my heart, so just stay gone.

    It is hard to let go of someone we love. You did great with this piece.

    My wounds are now small openings in my past
    But the stronger I become, the less I want you back.
    The words you whispered to me have melted away
    Along with the "Together Forevers" that never stayed.
    What doesn't make sense most likely hurts the most.
    I'm done with being your hang over drug addicted overdose.

    I love this stanza, How you decide you are done with the games and the words that meant nothing.
    Great job!
