Leave

Leave,
I’ll stay in the empty home.
Leave,
There’s a world out there for you to roam.

Leave,
I’ll close the door behind your back.
Leave,
But my feelings I won’t hold back.

I’ll scream,
In these walls where only echoes stay.
I don’t dream
Of a house where laughter fills the day.

Without you,
It’ll be sad, but that’s the way.
Without you,
Loneliness is my prize today.

Leave,
And take with you your scent, your grace.
Leave,
Like a cat on soft paws, leave no trace.

Leave,
If you want, I’ll cry with you tonight.
Leave,
My feelings I won’t try to hide.

I’ll scream,
In these walls where only echoes stay.
I don’t dream
Of a house where laughter fills the day.

Without you,
It’ll be sad, but that’s the way.
Without you,
Loneliness is my prize today.

We come into this world alone,
And we leave it in loneliness.
Just sometimes we light a flame,
To make our visions manifest.

And beyond the years we’ve passed,
We realize how lost we are,
Speaking’s now a fading art,
And with the wrong ones, we fall apart.

I’ll scream,
In these walls where only echoes stay.
I don’t dream
Of a house where laughter fills the day.

Without you,
It’ll be sad, but that’s the way.
Without you,
Loneliness is my prize today.
