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.)
