Leaving Him In '98
I broke something precious;
smashed Ming against the door;
trampled on shards of shattered vow;
unnerved, I ask to go.
Release me from your want,
from cloying, needful coils;
let me run against the current;
please, I ask to go.
This guilt will not contain me;
still your tears will stain my heart;
I loved you once for kindness;
killed with such, I ask to go.
