I know how much you love me,

And I love you even more.

But, every time I leave you,

I am angry, hurt and sore.

I wonder why this happens,

I can’t figure out what’s up.

It feels like drinking poison,

From a gold-lined, silver cup.

How will we ever solve this?

Do you feel the same way too?

Is there a way around it?

Do you feel the way I do?

Love and peace go hand in hand,

But for now this plan’s gone wrong.

Perhaps it’s all the small stuff,

That we let go on too long.
