Please tell me that those aren't yours

Those boxes by the door?

The piles of the clothes on the stairs

Please say that you are only cleaning out the closet

You went on a shopping haul

Did we get a roommate?


Please say something other than those two words

I'm leaving

Those words weren't made for you lips 

They were made for people who don't love each other

But you still love me 

Right?


Please look at something other than the floor

Lift those galaxies of grey

Make them stare into my galaxies of blue

Look me in the eye

Tell me you are leaving then

Say it while you watch my galaxie inside fall apart


Please stop 

Don't run out the door

Don't rush into your car

Stay for just minute

Hold your breath

And wait


So the boxes are yours

Watch me rip them up in fury

Scream those words to me

Watch as the light dies in eyes

Stare at the floor as you tell me you are going 

Watch my tears from puddles on the ground  


You want to leave?

Watch me fall apart

Watch my world crumble 

Then you may go

The image of my broken face in your head

The feeling of my heart breaking in your bones


If you leave

I won't bear the pain alone

You will watch someone suffer

If you leave

You are going to share this pain

You will carry some of my suffering 


If you leave

Take the pain

Take the suffering

But don't come back

Even when the pain becomes to much

And you can't hold yourself together


Don't come back

Learn to save yourself

Teach yourself to tape your pieces back together

And while you do it

Know that I have done the same

And I no longer grieve


Leave

But look me in the eyes when you do

Leave

Watch me fall apart

Leave

And take some of the pain


It's high time you had it
