Slowly but gradually I crash to the wall,
Holding myself, I allow the free fall.
Don't cry when I'm gone, give me a smile,
I've gone because I wanted to; on a long exile.
These tears of yours, if they shed,
Please forgive me, it's my hungry heart I've fed.
If I mean anything to you, let yourself cry,
I'll solemnly smile, but to wipe them I shall not try.
Because I was alone when I truly needed you and now when I die,
You say you need me, I know it's a lie.
When I needed you, you weren't beside,
You failed to realise I am less of what I show and more of what I hide.
