you'd rather i leave

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i shouldn't be here, you keep saying 
and if you had your choice i would not be
far enough to almost see it
cool enough to not quite be it
and i call for you but you don't answer
fury and furtive glances in a glancer
as opposed to a glarer 
im doomed, doomed i say
anyway, for today
gifts are not enough to promise
that i would have be so honest
you want me to go
and i can't ease your pain 
i belong at 1313 mockingbird lane
shut my mouth for just one second
something i had not quite reckoned
and give me away
got no choice, i have to go now
and i am feeling like a sow 
let me not have to
pay
give my love to all on broadway
have to be without for one day
with my heart on my
sleeve
complete is my fury and pain
acid tears and acid rain
now i have to 
leave.
