Leave Me

Leave my head
Leave my mind
Leave me behind.
Why do you keep hanging around
This shadow, this ghost
This queen gripping her broken crown?

You enter my thoughts without warning-
Your cold piercing through the warmth in me
And it makes me remember the days when you fit perfectly in the folds
A friendship I was so sure would be refined into gold.
And I almost want these memories to be exorcised
Right along with the betrayal and the lies.

For you haunt me-
This poltergeist content by the sight of this debris.
For your sneaking around has paid off-
You realize how much I miss you, how easily I go soft.
And I know you’re just waiting, buying your time
Until you can break through the slowly dissolving grime.

Please...leave my heart
Leave my soul
Leave behind a hole.
I’d rather never be able to fill it
This empty space, empty of you
Than to your memory submit.

Don’t you realize how sad the thought of you makes me?
‘Cause it didn’t have to be this way, you see.
But you’ve never been one to admit you’re wrong-
You’ve always wanted to find a heart where you belong
And jealousy has a disturbing way of rearing its head
You never liked that love found me instead.

So, I sit here once again, remembering the laughter you would bring
...While remembering the tears, the way they would sting.
And I wonder if missing you is something I should do
Even though, unfortunately, it’s pure and it’s true.
So, in this stalemate, I seem to stay...
As I continue to silently will you away.
