While you were away

While you were away 

I slept for days 

I wept like a baby in a willow tree 

Surrounded by the comfort of a lonely me

While I was away

I learned a thing or two 

About where your priorities lie: 

and wondered what I am expected to do

When all I give is met with

a turned back

a cold shoulder

I begin to wonder

About 

While we were away

I felt the air of all I’d left unspoken 

Expanding my lungs all the way

Pushing and pushing until they’d broken

Time and time again 

Friend becomes foe and foe becomes friend

One day I’ll have nothing left to give

    (With nothing to hold on to) 

And i can only hope 

               That who I am

               And what I’ve done 

                          Will continue to live
