Opportunity

I have such a burning desire that I could spit fire because our journey ends here
Invisible tears, Not even a year and now you take a part of me wherever you go
Snapped shut, cold-hearted than snow, dark as night too weak too oblivious to put up a fight
I could grab your legs like child and beg you not go as you walk through that mile 
of advancement
I don’t want to hold you back so I will let you go 
without the slightest clue of how I feel you will never know
I want to hate you but I can only loathe myself because I opened up to you
I will assume that we will try but honestly I know I will be a faded memory as time pass by 
so don’t lie to me
Don’t pretend as though our connection won’t end I’m not stupid I do comprehend 
that once you unplug that lamp it won’t shine
its light will go dark instantaneously. 
Spontaneously its suppose to shine again once you come back But it only happened it fairy tales 
you see it never fails 
so my best bet is leave it where it’s at
I will make it vanish on the map so don’t try and find me
Pretend like it never happened. Pretend it never existed. Pretend that there was never a friendship
Why? Why might you ask such a rhetorical question? Can’t you see the damaged you caused you inglorious opportunist. 
You put Salt where my open wounds lay, Leaches where my flesh stay
Left my body lifeless in on my death bed with no intentions to resuscitate 
Received your call from opportunity and not once did you hesitate. 
So let my mind meditate and let this pain endure while I am ill. 

Detachment is my cure, so while my emotions heal,

PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE
