Walking Away
Darling I Want Your Love Tonight-
The Two Of Us Sharing The Dark Seems So Right-
I Want To Put My Heart In Your Hands-
So Maybe Me You Will Understand-
Let Us Drink From That Bottle Of Wine-
When We Are Together Everything Is Just Fine-
These Are The Things My Heart Tells Me-
Almost Like It Is Trying To Teach A Newborn Baby-
I Know Something Isn’t Right-
Why Is It We Fight-
Oh Why Do I Find Reasons To Lie-
It’s You That Makes Me Cry-
I Don’t Wear Makeup For Vanity-
I Hide The Bruises Caused By Your Insanity-
I Should’ve Left A Long Time Ago-
But It Isn’t Easy To Simply Let Go-
So I’ll Sit Here As We Dine-
Ill Try To Tell You That I Am No Longer Yours And You Are No Longer Mine-
We Have To Go Our Separate Ways-
Though My Heart Is Telling Me To Stay-
The last two stanzas are beautifully written in particular, the bruises line and the no longer mine line are definitely really hard hitting, and I think that you placed them very well in the writing for a strong message, I love the point of view in this one and the conflicting thoughts that the character has :)
Why thank you very much! I must say this might be one of my proudest works.
I can see why, it’s very good :)
I love the way you show insight on the mind of a person who’s in a toxic relationship
Why thank you very much! So glad that you liked it!
