I Come Away From You

I come away from you
Knowing your taste
And the feel of your taint
Burning away all thought

I can’t bring myself to love you
No matter how I want to
You deserve it I know
But I can’t force my hand in this

Forgive the act I have committed
Your heart is a fragile thing
Something meant for a softer hand
Something I could never cradle

Maybe someday you will see
That I did the best for me
I don’t regret that selfish act
Too long have I neglected my needs

So this is the goodbye
That you never wanted to hear
The farewell to bruise your heart
The end of all things that were to come
