slow and smokeless

the slow and smokeless burning of decay
destroys our love, and kills it day by day
i staunchly refuse to see it; but you will not sway
you claim it wasn't supposed to end this way

i don't believe you, it can't be true
what more did you want me to do?
i tried to hold you close and near to me
i tried to make you say you'd never leave

i know this is cliche, but i wanted you to know
i never ever thought that i wanted you to go
all this fault lies entirely with you-
i still don't know what else you wanted me to do...

Author notes

okay, so i hate this- read it anyways--- another piece of trivial shit that i came up with in the middle of a class

    well i liked it... it didn't seem like trivial shit as you called it. it seems like real feelings that are bothering you... nice work.
