I Begged Not to Come Back

I walked away under a heavy sky. Your shadow lingered, though I said

goodbye. Every step felt like a chain on me. But freedom whispered,

"Just let it be." I carved my plea in the silence

of the night. Hoping the stars would carry it right. I begged not

to come back to the fire that burned me black. I begged not

to return to the lessons I'll never learn. Your voice still calls my name,

but I won't play that game. I begged not to come back.

Memories haunt like ghosts in the rain. Sweet illusions tangled with pain.
