Because I Left

You would think I wanted to be alone

Because I left

I left on that sunny day in Boston

Sitting on the empty hard wood floor

With my head between my knees

You would think I wanted to be alone

Because I left

I left on that August afternoon

Until I arrived 3,000 miles away

Treading with doubt and regret

You would think I wanted to be alone

Because I left

I walked away from the promise of commitment

A commitment riddled with control

Abuse lined walls

You would think I wanted to be alone

Because I left
