Why Are You Here?

Why are you here?
Why did you come?
Your shape wrapped in shadows,
To make my soul numb.

Words now mean nothing.
Words make it worse.
Don’t suddenly leave
With my soul in your Herse.

Where are my manners?
Where have you been?
Why are we pretending
I didn’t see what I’ve seen?

You came back to meet me.
You came with your love.
But I didn’t want this:
Your heavens above.

Why won’t you leave me?
Why didn’t you stay?
Was it not you who said
You won’t send me away?

You made one foul error.
You live with old pain.
Perhaps you just want to
Inflict it again.

You’re not here to love me?
You’re here to repent?
You’re here to compensate
The wet hours I spent?

I don’t want your presence.
I don’t want your pleas.
All I want is to move on,
So go, if you please.
