Walking Away With My Pride

by Dee   Dec 6, 2005


You should be sure it is over
Before you let me say goodbye
You should make sure you do not care
Because I am dying here inside

You better make sure that you do not look at me
As I walk away
Once my mind is made up
I will not turn back to yesterday

Never say I failed to warn you
Of the rough waters that lie ahead
You failed to heed the circumstance
You would rather wake up alone instead

You did not read between the lines
But I spelled it out in black and white
You never really cared
How alone I felt at night

You never took time to kiss me
You did not like to snuggle up
You did not take me seriously
When I told you I longed for love

My sadness makes you defensive
But you think you have the upper hand
My tears make you turn away
But they give me reason to take a stand

You think it is a squabble
Just a storm that will blow over
But you are so clueless
Of the sacrifices that I shoulder

You believe that you can pull your guns
When the cards are stacked against you
But the end result is that I am moving on
And finding a way to forget you

When I actually break down
It is because I am sensitive
But deep down inside my heart
I have nothing left to give

The more you turn the other cheek
The colder my heart becomes
One day I will walk away from you
Never looking back because I am numb

Another fight that is among us
Because I expressed all my frustrations
You turn your back on me again
Because you do not have the patience

Rather than make it better
You fuel my inner fire
Your actions bring me closer
To more lacking of desire

Every day you push me closer
To the closing door
One day you will realize
I will never love you like before

You take me for granted
You do not comprehend
That our complications
Are pushing us to the end

Once I am wounded
You will have no chance in hell
To make up for the moments
There will be nothing left to tell

This relationship lacks respect
I have lost my dignity
I question your intentions
I wonder who I am to me

I will close the door on you
And I will not look back
Never worrying about what you want
With no fear of your attack

You think you have a hold on me
But I can prove you wrong
I will be okay
Without you tagging along

I should not have to fight so hard
To tug on your heart strings
You really make a fool of me
And you make me regret lots of things

Every day you make me sad
In one way or another
I make it through all of this
My heart has taken cover

You can keep abusing me
Or you can learn to love
If you choose the latter
You have lost time to make up

If you want to walk away
And keep pretending I do not exist
Then you can keep on living life
As if you can resist

Either way things must change
Or I will say goodbye
Walking away with confidence
Taking with me all my pride
