You say you think that, your losing me more,
But than you choose to leave me and choose to ignore,
I try to hold on and say its just a one moment thing,
But I feel like a peasant, standing next to a king,
With this new reputation, you seem to be changing even more,
So, I always wonder, what are you changing for?

The author's comments:
This piece is inspired by a constant resistance to keep going back to someone no matter the transition they are constantly facing; and then being blamed for this change.
