Stay

It’s quite sad really
A strange phenomenon
I never really got it

I cared enough
I tried enough
I worked enough

They impaired me
They lied to me
They irked me

We parted ways
Though I wanted to stay
To keep my thoughts at bay

In your eyes
I’m a plaything
And I just let it happen

But now I’m alone
But even at home
I sleep in another bed

So my guard is up
And my mouth is shut
And so is my head

Maybe I’ll find someone
Who cares enough
To try and keep me safe

It’ll be later
But I can wait forever
If they’ll be my always
