I didn’t want to hurt you
I never meant for you to grieve
I'm sorry that I made you cry
It wasn’t you I had to leave
I had no time to say good bye
My pain severe and so, so real
I simply didn’t have a choice
So this end, I had to steal
I had to stop bloodcurdling screams
Haunting me each day and night
Tormenting me through all my dreams
Poisoning my strength to fight
Just remember that I love you
And forever I will be
Standing right beside you
Forgive me, my destiny
So cherish all the good times
Hold your breath and hear my voice
“I never wanted to leave you…
I simply didn’t have a choice”

HEY! WELCOME BACK!
HEY! WELCOME BACK!
Your poem could be another version of Lennon's *jealous guy*... sadly.... I could almost hear your whistling.

This is a singing lament but with other pieces we can see if there are things to correct, this is from 4 years ago so I shall wait for an updated version, Yours Ian.T
