Taken Away

When I was alone, I longed for you
Just for a conversation
But you would always see straight through me
Even without persuation

I'd hoped for you to say those words
That would make me feel better
But now I see that they're aren't coming
Now or in forever

So I moved on, away from you
And I hate that I had to leave
I needed support to make it through
Someone who would want me

And now you see things differently
Now that I'm no longer yours
You want me back, back, back to us
Something that was never ours

Because you cannot have me
You found me as an interest
But once I am alone again
I'd be the one that you would detest

Our friendship has corrupted
And our closeness, well destroyed
I can see that me to you
You were the child, and I the toy

Every time we'd become close
You put us back on hault
But know this true, twas up to you
And thus it was your fault

If I let it fall, the last tear drop
That has waited in my eye
Know that it is not meant for you
And all I give you is a goodbye
