Prey

Get out
Just leave
Just pack up and leave
I don’t need your sympathy
I don’t need your help, your guidance
I know who I am
I know what I want

I know what’s good for me

I feel it’s been long enough
Since we’ve parted ways
Yet you’re always there
That breath across my neck
That chill down my spine
Your hawk eyes always on my life

Just leave me be
Can’t you see I’m well enough without you
You stray our thoughts
And persuade our feelings

With you it’s always strings attached
You let us get so close
Our lips nearly touching
Just to tear us apart without sympathy

Your talons press past skin deep
You suffocate me to defeat
How much longer must I live this way?
When will you see
I don’t need your solace

You hover over my heart
Ready to swoop down when you see it seeking
You fake the compassion and the caring
Just to see me cringe
Just to see me fall
So you can pick me apart while I’m down

Who are you to make our decisions
Who are you to tell us we can’t
Who are you to pull us apart
When will you just leave
Just leave
Get out
