You Can'T Just Leave
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
You drifted away like a feather
You can do so much better
You wear a humongous sweater on a hot day
You senselessly wear nothing on a cold day
You need to think things through right now
Do you love to be around me? Tell me somehow
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
You’re like a spring of sunshine,
Coming my way – it must be a sign
You’re kind enough to stay longer than expected
I’m thankful you understand that I was neglected
I’m oh so sorry for hurting your delicate feelings in the rather long-gone past
I broke your heart in the dark and you ran away from my grasp with empty goodbyes
You wince with pain in your eager-clustered eyes…not all joyous moments last
You deserted the dire dilemma of a thousand lies…I can hear your echoing cries
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
I should’ve known better than to let you down again and again
I apologize for behaving irrationally and obliviously all of the sudden
I could’ve lifted you so much higher than the highest mountain
I had allowed fear to cave in on my senses…alone in my shadowy den…
Why was I the one to blame for your issues?
Why was I the one to place my feet into your shoes?
Why did you aimlessly walk away from me?
Why did you abruptly abandon me spitefully?
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
How come you’re gone away so soon?
You flew away like a butterfly out of its cocoon…
How come you left me in the shadows of an uneventful afternoon?
You knew I would hurt without you, dear friend
There is a beloved beginning to your lonesome end
Why did you decide to simply disappear?
Why did you doubt with such pitiful fear?
Why did you go astray?
Why did you walk away?
Don’t walk away or I’ll be in hideous dismay
Don’t run away in the ray of our uniquely unifying day
Don’t gallop away graciously into the moonlit magnificence all the way
Don’t run away from your problems or they will worsen
Don’t walk away from your significant solace adrenalin
Why did you walk away?
I ask to myself with naïve curiosity
Why did you go astray?
Your clever ways are far from witty
