LEAVE ME IN THE GUTTERS

Leave me in the gutters
or the swamps outside the city,
don't come to check up on me,
because you'll be better off without me.

Walk away
without your heart upon my hand
and without your hand upon my heart,
leave me in the swamps
with nothing but my quiet tears,
and I will sob quietly
until the end of the oblivion
that has no foreseeable end.
While out there,
you exist somewhere,
and I am dead to the world.
