We started with our wounds and hearts turned askance
The dance began and turned to romance
Lying in the day sharing fantasy
When night fell bearing truth a sight to see

We grew and we bonded and ranted and raved
We sung and we shouted and cuddled and played
As the days went on I grew more dismayed
The fault in our stars had arrived, and there it stayed

So I cursed and screamed and pleaded and prayed
I reasoned and bargained and schemed and delayed
It wasn't long before you were exposed to that violence
So I made a decision. The last step was to leave you in silence

My love is more than passion
It's the connection and rapport
It's the manifesto cut in stone residing in my core
I will protect you and save you before you bleed any more

You are with me always
Though it seems i can't stay
I will see you always
As the one who got away
I will hear you always
Though not by the sound of your voice
You are missing to me always
As I did not give you a choice

I love you with all my heart
Which is why I have long since known
My life is a war that is tearing me apart:
The battle i must fight alone
