Walking Away

so i was listening to one of my favorite albums of all time, a grand don't come for free by the streets and realised how many times i have drawn inspiration from it and not acted on it. Well, "dry you eyes mate" was playing at that very moment so i went with it and wrote this piece called Walking Away which is almost a copy cat of the song. For me, its a little different so i hope you enjoy it.

Walking Away
She looks at me and tries to smile but I am seeing tears in her eyes,
“we need to talk”, she says and I am thinking....why.
She walks me to the couch, and then she sighs,
“I know I ask a lot of you lately” she starts, “and I know you try”
“So why do we need to talk again, really why” I quietly inquire,
“well, um, well um” she looks away, and says “I think it’s time to say good bye”
The words reach into my lungs and it feels like they are literally sucking the air there
Now I am wide eyed, open-mouthed and at this moment I am vulnerable and bare,
I finally find the breathe and all I could say is “babe, I’ll always be here”
She looks away again and doesn’t need to say it because I know it’s my biggest fear,
She doesn’t want me here,
They say before you die your life flashes before your eyes,
I am having total recall and I know this relationship is ready to die,
I remember the first time I saw her, I dedicated a poem to her, hoping to make her smile,
She said corny was not her style but she had to admit she liked that I made her smile,
It was going to take her time to let me in; to be with me was going to take a while,
So, I stayed, I stayed a while, I stayed for a very long while,
Until we were inseparable, talked about a future and how we could start a family on the spot,
But lately we fought, we fought a lot,
The make-up was hot but after it was all said and done, we still fought,
And now it’s led to this, and I’m thinking I have to make this right,
I lift her chin up, stare her straight in the eye and say “we can make this right,
As sure as the sun will set every night, it will always rise to bring daylight,
So no matter what, we will always make up after we fight”
She looks back down again and says “but...this is not a fight”
After talking for what seems like forever, she says “we are just not meant to be together”
She lovingly wipes the tears from my face and kisses me softly as ever,
She slowly pushes me away saying,
“as long as my heart continues to pump blood through my veins over and over,
You can be rest assured that I will love you..... always and forever”
And that hurt the most because I knew love would have gotten us through tonight and the rest of our days,
And at that moment I realized that being with her was not my place,
So I start to leave and the hardest thing to do was not to look back as I made my way,
I did anyway, to see her looking away, and to think I thought I was here to stay,
Perplexed, bitterly, sadly and unwillingly, I had to walk through that door,
Guess “I’m in love with you” don’t live here anymore.
