Don’t Stay For Me

Life is too short like Zacheus’s longest gown,
To live like a zombie seeking your love
It’s sad you don’t expect me to do wrong.

In the sea of uncertainty, I’ll drown
Hoping that though i sink, you’ll see from above
Forget me, and don’t go sounding the gong

With a piece of heart, i made you a crown
In my heart i swore i was your belove
Staying for me will make torture prolong

I tried to show you, but i turned your clown
Stay for you, us or everything just shove
And before you sleep, birds would sing one song.

We were lovers, but you don’t feel like home
again. through your heart, for me you should comb
