stay

I can hear you packing your things in the other room, as the tears roll down my face
I deserve the things you said to me
This could be the last time that I see your face
I don’t blame you if you walk away

Reflecting on stupidity, the bruising showing up against the white of the keys
I’ve been channelling frustration into the walls, because they don’t hit back at me
You can view my last two years on the cracked plasterboard

I wanted you stay
You walked away
I want you to stay

I can hear you with the baby in the other room, as you sooth her while she cries
What a wonderful creation, combination
The best of you and I
I close my eyes to savour the moment and open them to see
There’s no one here but me

I wanted you stay
You walked away
I want you to stay
