Abandon Me

In the silence, you’re fading away,

Ghost in the room, can’t find what to say.

Each whispered word feels like a knife,

I scream for you to hold on to life.

Your eyes turned cold, like the winter’s night,

Once burning bright, now out of sight.

You’re distant, a shadow, a waking dream,

And I’m standing here, tearing at the seams.

You promise me love, then push me away,

Each touch is barbed, drowning in dismay.

I beg on my knees, can’t you see it clear?

But your silence screams louder than my fear.

Oh, abandon me, leave me, let me go,

You’re breaking my heart with each cruel blow.

The echoes of laughter, now distant cries,

You left me shattered, empty goodbyes.

Once we were whole, now your trust is thin,

A fortress of secrets, I can’t even win.

You act like I’m mad, like I’m lost in the night,

But it’s you, oh love, who won’t hold me tight.

The clock ticks slow as I sit in despair,

Where did you go? Did you ever care?

Abandon my heart, just don’t leave the rest,

The children we made—they’re lost in this mess.

Oh, abandon me, leave me, let me go,

You’re breaking my heart with each cruel blow.

The echoes of laughter, now distant cries,

You left me shattered, empty goodbyes.

I watch them grow, shadows of their dreams,

Their laughter now laced with silent screams.

How could I stay, when you turned away?

They’ll never know love, just pain in the fray.

So here I stand, on the edge of despair,

Maybe it’s time to breathe in the air.

I’ll take this final step, abandon this life,

For the children I leave—this heartache and strife.
