Understand; I Have To Go.

Please don't make me be here
I really just want to leave.
I can't be around that ego
Without feeling the need to heave.

You're shoving regret in my face
Then ripping away all that I know.
I'm just going to have to walk away-
Please, understand why I have to go.

It breaks my heart to feel you here
And it will make me ache to stay
So please just give me my ticket-
To anywhere ...
and I'll be on my way.

My veins are pulsing inside of me
I need somewhere I can hide
This longing I feel is killing me
But abandonment is where I confide.

You left, you're gone, I'm empty
You escaped, but I stayed behind
Now I'm left to fight this sickness
That beats away my shattered mind.

You fled the scene without words
And I crumbled and hit cold cement
You had said you'd come to save me
So I assumed you were heaven-sent.

Please don't make me stay here
I've already said more than I should
If I stay any longer, I might choke
Holding back what little I could.

Walking out of my heart - That's Fine,
But walking out of my life - Please, No.
I didn't expect it, I couldn't prepare;
There's no beauty in letting you go.

Now, understand that I'm going
I'm leaving with these memories close
You're the one I've always needed
The one I'll always love the most.
