You gave me sunshine
while I felt the rain.
You moved mountains
to help ease my pain.
But how can I stay
with my heart in disarray?
You were there for me
when I was in misery—
but during the light
you disappeared into the night.
Does my pain give you purpose?
Why try to be my glue
only when I feel worthless?
Where must I go
when my heart’s been hurt
from too many blows
to find a lover
that will stay after I recover?
I wave goodbye.
I wish you the best.
If you saw the signs,
you’ll know why I left.
