Arms Wide Shut

Anthony Strange

I wish we could have been more...
Hate was always on your mind...
Love was on mine...
Now you're another lifeless recollection in my soul...
All I asked of you was to stay with me eternally...
You left me but you're stuck in my skull...
I promise you I am going to let you go...
There's no place for you in my arms...
Now just let me go...
