Leaving you
The weight of your happiness
Crushes me
My shoulders too thin
To bare the burden
~
Leaving you
And those downcast eyes
That signal disapproval
Your weeping, the last refuge
Calculated to the last tear drop
~
Leaving you
Who have snipped and shaped
My being to your fancy
Bestowed the gifts of favours
Weighed on the scales of necessity
~
Leaving you
My friends, no longer wait in line
For your stamp of approval
We can’t meet your expectations
You have bought faulty merchandise
~
Leaving you
Before the snare tightens
Before the trap snaps shut
Before resolve melts to water
Before love turns to hate
~
Leaving you.
