People come and people go.
So what are you waiting for?
Do you not get the picture yet?
I don't want you or love you anymore.

How many times do you need to call
and get the voicemail then disconnect?
Don't you see it's much too late
to make up for the years of neglect?

I no longer need a hero
and if I do, I've got plenty to choose,
you don't call because you want to help,
it's because you can't stand to lose.

Well, eventually you will see,
you will come to accept what I already know,
you've lost and I can walk away
if you don't see fit to go.

Passing shadows,

This is very fine. The only line that stumped me was the last one. Is that line dialectal?

super good. You come back with a very strong and self-confident tune. SO very good.

But I do try not to read your poem of the late bad experience. It cut my heart through.

Take care. always with love. (D)
