I Want To Go Away

I want to go away Without looking behind Without fearing The safety of my shadow That you wouldn’t tear away The pages of our history Nor distort the legacy of our love I want to go away Believing that You wouldn’t break into pieces The bones that formed part of our lives That you wouldn’t burn to ashes The calabash from which we drank The joy of love that we cherished most I want to believe that behind me You wouldn’t water The petals of differences That made us part I want to go away Knowing that my legacy is safe And the tracks that we passed through Forever remind you of challenges Shared in life together I want to go away believing that The candle of light that lit our lives In the darkest hours of our lives Shall always be there in your heart That you wouldn’t let it dry The river of love that watered our lives I want to go away I want to go away Believing that I have forgiven you Knowing that you are at peace With your sins And when I erred I never intended to Even when it seemed so deliberate The human nature in me Couldn’t let me be The angel you wanted me to be With pangs and pains of deceits from you I should not let out a cry I want to go away
