But You Left Anyway

How cruel would I be
If I held you back here, with me?

Every single one of you

If I  begged you not to leave

I said I'd be sad, yes
But to be on my knees
Would prove me pathetic

Maybe I just didn't want you enough
Yet, you're all I can think about
If only I'd done more to keep you here...
But would that be worth it?

Why is it hard for me to say I miss you?

One by one they all pack up their bags

Don't go
PLEASE don't go!

It doesn't matter if you're not mine
You'll be here
Breathing...Radiating
That's all I need to feel safe:
Your presence.

Most people write about heartache but its usually about a boyfriend or girlfriends. Heartache can come from friends and family too. I felt this and it was beautiful. Depressing? I think more so you miss them. if they leave its their prerogative. its never easy but the hurt will lessen even when you still miss them

Someone who is needy? I'm not sure why this confuses me, but I feel the ache, almost desperation, in the lines. Someone I just want to hug and explain to them why life can't be explained, only lived.

Good work, I felt it.

Those cherished friendships can be very hard to let go when they leave but they always take a piece of your heart with them.

You have expressed your feelings well and your words demonstrate how intense the condition of love is and how dependant you are on this special person

Reminds me of my history with women: Always they go away; always I am astonished at the pain.
A very well composed, easy-to-relate-to piece of work.
Impressive, Siren!
