Ode to Tie

<3

I don't mind if you stay,

I just want you to go,

Still you promise not to leave me alone.

I contemplate the lie,
You've told too many times.

Still it aches in every way,

Battered,Blistered,Broken...Frayed.

Still you whispered every day,

"Darling,don't be afraid".

It's the end of your days,
I just wanted to say,

You were my everything,

I feel it settling,

As you lie inside your grave,

"My darling,Don't be afraid".

Maybe this was my mistake,

Trust the foolish fall to prey.

All the words they fall in place,

All I ever meant to say...

Strike the match and hear him cry,

My darling this is goodbye.

Bite the bullet,say  prayer,

You showed no mercy,

showed no cares.

You ripped my heart out in two,

So my Darling,I'll do to you..

It's the end of your days,
I just wanted to say,

You were my everything,

I feel it settling,
As you lie inside your grave,
My Darling,don't be afraid.

Will it ever haunt you the way that it haunts me?
Your love, so self-absorbed,
I'll never be.Well I'm the moth and you're the flame,
This deadly love you'll never tame.

I learned my part, I played the game,

But always it ends the same.
Of all the things I meant to say,

But Darling,I was afraid.
