take this love away

To Craig Harris

Pain felt so bare in my chest
Nothing compared to seeing your first love walking around with the rest
I accompanied you into my heart, left you with the key and you misplaced it, so I made a copy but this duplicate didn’t feel the same, you had changed, your love felt strange and unwelcome
Take this love away, I’ll see it another day

You lost sight once, twice or maybe even forever
I tried to keep you clutched in my arms but you cursed me with your words when you spoke of her
Those words, I conquer
Take this love away, I’ll see it another day

Laying on my back, some call it love but that’s only when its shared between two people who are in love
You’d come in me, taking the risk of implanting new life in me
this made you leave me for your old life
Take this love away, I’ll see it another day

I’ve been raised to never speak to strangers and I agree because your words are strange, your whole being is strange
And it scares me
Or maybe its the thought that I’ve lost something that doesn’t want to be found
Take this love away, I’ll see it another day

Dreaming of you constantly, not because I miss you but because you’re feeling guilty that you broke this fragile heart and left it with no more room to break apart but to just push away what it does not want and what it doesn’t want is love and I ask, is that right?
Take your love away, I hope it let’s you see another day

(2013)
