A Ditch Called Abandon
Sometimes it's as if I still
don't know
That I have to let you go
As hard as parting the sea
So too shall this
challenge me
Is it something I can do?
Learn to just stop loving
you?
Learn to put myself first
In famine, flood and thirst
I've taken great joy in
giving to you
I see now how little it has
to do
With how someone can
love
And place you far above
Any problem or desire
For eventually people tire
They move on
And leave you standing in
your own abandon
