Walk Away Lover (Rain Quintet Part III)

Walk Away Lover

 

Two lives are intertwined

They are moving side by side

Neither one is open

Both have things to hide

 

Listening to each other

They lie awake at night

Two lonely bodies

Present but out of sight

 

They wonder where they went

They wonder how they lost

They wonder at the prices paid

They wonder why the cost

 

Just walk away lover

Just turn your back and go

Just walk away lover

Pretend you'll never know

 

Maybe they were learning

Maybe they just tried

Maybe they were burning

From some hidden fire inside

 

They count the mistakes

They tally up the lies

They learn the terrible secret

They know that love just dies

 

Maybe they're just tired.

Maybe they meant well

Maybe they were liars

Maybe things just went to hell

 

Just walk away lover

Just turn your back and go

Just walk away lover

Pretend you'll never know

 

(This is the third poem in the Rain Quintet, the previous poems were Rain and Seduction.)
