I cannot be sad or upset by the things you have said to me
I cannot be phased or bothered by something
Obviously, someone has said and done.
Evaluate your part, criticize your side.
I choose to brush this off; I choose to be alone
I choose to let you go. I walk away.
It's not my fault, how much you felt a way.
Blaming me for my words unsaid; things un-done
Don't attempt to scrutinize me!
I am not the culprit in this something
I left your side,
I am alone.
You had my heart, my body temporarily on a loan.
You don't get a choice to analyze me,
To tell me what I have done; I picked no side.
Stop, your speech? Done.
I'd prefer to make those ridiculous memories go away,
Nothing becomes something.
Always something.
My friends, my worries, you are extra pounds aweigh.
My mind is newly occupied, my new heart alone.
It's not you, it's my life, I worry for me.
How many times can I try to be done?
You go a-side.
There's nothing else here, no frustration in-side.
I'm unmoved at the thought alone
You don't have to tell me anything… "Some thing".
No, we don't talk for a second… I move away.
I've let loose of everything you said to me.
We realize what we have done.
What have we done?
How much do we keep inside?
How come December went away?
I know I said to leave me alone,
I said I didn’t want some things,
But why did you believe me?
