Beg Me To Stay

If I walked away
Would you beg me to stay
How far would you go 
To make me stay
Do you want me to stay
Or would you rather me go
Why can't I talk to you
Why do you always turn away
Why can't I ask you to stay
Do I really want you to stay 
 Can I beg you to stay
Would you want it that way
Would you want me that way
Why do you always shut the door
And pretend you just don't care
Where would you be if not for me
I raised you from your darkness you said
I was your angel of light is what you said
Give me time to understand my crimes 
Before you turn and walk away from me!

As you have probably noticed, relationships can be quite difficult when one side or both are impenetrable. This has a sad and guilty feeling which should make me think about times I have been like a wall. What you do in words is very spiritual.
