I Need You


I wanted you to hate me, for doing the things I’ve done. Telling you lies, while saying goodbyes, mixed with 'I love you’s' was fun.
 
I told you you were the one, who made all things right.
Then like the wind with a smile on my face, I took off in the night.
 
You did all you could do to keep me by your side;
but I was bent on leaving, sailing off with the tide.
 
But you’re a stronger lady than most including I seemed to care.
And when you left to live your life for you, I was no longer your burden to bare.
 
You started loving yourself too much, for, this kind of pain. Which instantly made you take flight, before you went insane.
 
Sarcastically you said, “Take care my lovely angel. It was such, a sweet ride.”
Then YOU left, moving forward.  Now my shame and lost, has me running to hide.
