Stay Away

Should I listen one last time?I think I should just be ignoringHands over ears and humming loudI’ve never been all that proudJust don’t want to hear the excuseI know you can’t tell the truthFaced the reality so long agoJust wish I’d left then tooNot stayed and fed you my loveOnly for you to strike fromContinue reading “Stay Away”
