The Last

I sit next to my window Watch the sea below Finally, summer has finished its blow All summer you were gone I sit in the same chair you spent so long So many years Too many tears Now that you’re gone. You left me alone in less than a sentence Your warning was not preceded by lack of love You got what you wanted until the day you were gone I am left with everything you did not want I am left alone, with myself. This is the dangerous part. Who will be there when I come home? I am left alone. I sit in your chair Remnants of you still here I keep your last parcel folded like you’ll be back Stare at the door Nothing. You planned your attack. And then, one day you do To tell me you love me I believe you Give in to the one I’ve been waiting for Smile at your promises you know you won’t keep I’m weak Take me because I’m weak I’ll give it to you because that’s what I need. you leave. Beg you to stay Say you’ll be back again someday Someday will never come I will be gone. Need to leave the place we called our home Need to run away from all the things that keep reminding me of You. Yeah, I’m gonna run away from you If it’s the last thing I ever do.
