Don’t Come Back Now

Please don't come,
When you chose to walk away.
Don't knock my door again,
When silence was what you had to say.

Please don't speak,
When my words once bruised your pride.
Don't search for meaning now,
When you let love slip and hide.

Please don't offer your hand,
When you let go without a fight.
Don't reach out in the daylight,
After vanishing in the night.

Please don't smile,
When mine was just a mask.
Don't chase my laughter now,
When healing was all I had ever ask.

Please don't blame,
When you watched me fall alone.
Don't carry guilt like a flower,
After turning my heart to stone.

Please don't cry,
When you left my soul to break.
Don't mourn the ashes now,
When you lit the fire in the wake.

So let the past stay buried,
In the silence where it slept.
You had your chance to hold me,
But not the tears I wept.
