Watching You Leave
Coming home night after night
Finding more and more of your stuff missing, gone
Soon your bedroom will be empty
Except for the few things that are left, the things that were never yours
Why do you come to gather your belongings when no one is home
You called tonight for some strange reason
I asked your where you were going, what you were doing
You never answered me, you stayed unusually silent
I don't know how I feel
I am confused about you leaving
My whole life you have been my enemy, but you were always there
I loved you stronger then I should have
I even loved you after everything that you did to me
Now I am not sure how I should feel
It feels weird to lock the door
It feels weird to turn the porch light off
It feels weird to see your car parked out front
And still knowing that you aren't coming home
For eighteen years you and I have fought
I have lost count of all the bruises, the cuts, and knots
You ruined me in ways I can't mention
But now you are gone
Tell me how I am supposed to react
Tears fall, but I don't know why
Tell me how I am supposed to feel
Watching you leave
