Can't leave it behind

by Tessa   Nov 19, 2006


Promise me that this isn't all we've got
I wanted it to be so much more
That the words weren't wasted
And the tears put to bad use
I don't want it to have been fake
Or not worth remembering

I don't want to remember your face
Or your eyes that looked into mine
So please, help me forget your name
And your arms, and your smile
So I can live again

Help me when it all falls apart
"Please, I don't want to be alone..."
But you can't hear my cry
You were gone long before you left
And were never really here

As I pack these empty boxes
Knowing I can not leave it all behind
I can not leave you behind
Packing has never felt this great
As I pack all the shit of yours
Burn it on the side of the road with gasoline and a match

I drive away, knowing you're not okay
And tears burn down my cheeks
Knowing that I'm not either
