I Just Want You Gone

Once you owned my soul Desire clouded me. Your touch was burning ,fire My body wanting , free I don't know when that changed Where it all went wrong But now I'm desperate for your exit I just want you gone. I used to ache to see you Those tormented, lonely days Now I hope you disappear Please just go away There's been an nasty shift Like candy once sweet now sour What's left of us is bitter More distasteful by the hour Please stop this war, cease fire Let's just both move on Good soliders know to march away I just want you gone

Had to stop and read. there's a reason for this. arguing and fighting. Name calling and abuse. Jelousy and ignoring. But if I got this letter I'd change.

This reminds me of the song “nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone”.
