So I found out the truth
Avoided asking for lights and sounds
Ran away to to bathroom
To repeat and let go of the drowning
Of that facts that linger and echo
"He doesn't hate you."
She said.
You are trying to be good
Forget me, get me out of your head
You admitted that you couldn't stand
To see my face or admit that you
Replaced me with such haste
I wonder when one day
You will look into the mirror and say
It was truly me
That drove her away.

You set me free
Without meaning to err
Now the woman sleeps in your bed
With an abundance of hair
And I jot poetry
Down on the toilet in my restaraunts
Stall
Because I guess I did just have to know
And was prepared for just a yes or no.

Perhaps in time
You will be able to nod without
Mischief and pain
But those days are not today
As you waiver in the wind
Forget my grin
Or how I use to always say
I'm gonna go my own way.

I love you forever
And the way you left me in the dust
Was tragic and meant to be
But I know you don't hate me
It's just my absence you can't stand
But you asked for it with open hands

So I left and left and left and left
With a lingering long kiss
Cuz that's what I do
I leave my mark.
