Don't walk away
Please
Don't walk away
Don't leave me here
In the hollow
Of doubt
Of fear
Of grief
Of the world's cruel jeer
Wondering if it was ever true ?
If "we" existed
In every colour and hue
Or
Like you said
You only see black and white
And I,
I see grey between shadow and light
And what if we are different?
Does it really matter?
Can we not find
A middle ground
Where our love doesn't have to shatter?
Don't walk away
Please
Don't walk away
I picked you among 8 billion
And you
The most beautiful shell
In my sea
But I, alas
Was just another grain of sand
On your quiet and empty beach
Or was I?
Is holding on to us
really out of your reach?
Don't walk away
Please
Don't walk away
Don't leave me here
With your illusion
Your presence a delusion
Pushing me far
and pulling me near
But me,
Always
Alone
Alone
And alone
Aching for you.
Don't walk away.
Please.
Don't walk away.
