I think its actually a song

I could come back and stay

Turn around in my tracks

I could forgive and forget

Yeah I could come back

I could stay with you

and forgive the lies

give up on true love

and muffle my cries



Or I can leave you

with my head held high

wipe the last tear away

with my very last goodbye



Did you expect me to ignore the comparisons

and maybe stay a while longer

Just cover up my shame and sadness

Making you that much stronger?

I could forgive what you did

I could forget her name

I could believe your lies

and take into me all the blame



Or I can leave you

with my head held high

wipe the last tear away

with my very last goodbye



I can leave you

with my head held high

wipe the last tear away

with my very last goodbye[/size]



I'm leaving you

And my head is held high

You don't deserve me darlin'

You couldn't if you tried.

Amen, sister. You do for women what so many never will. Keep holding that head up high...you rock. And yes, totally sounds like a song.

This was sad and inspiring at the same time. It was very good. I felt like I was there. Looking forward to reading more.

If I say shirley murdock (did I spell that right)
does that ring a bell?
"I'm not living without you" type thing.
This is good and that's what it reminds me of.
The independant woman song but not like that.
More like a stance at I'm being free of what's holding me down.
i like it and yes
it could be a song.

Great work here! Always stay positive. Once again, a very expressive work.
