The Leaving Man

 

seducing you with arrogance

walking backwards into plans

 

swallowing you with a laugh

here comes the leaving man

 

has that something else 

you just don’t understand

 

representing everything you hate 

that’s what draws you in 

 

curiosity mixed with disgust 

cracks the recipe when it’s heated up 

 

fatalism with a dark hand

blood and muscle under that skin 

 

you’re gonna surprise yourself 

again and again and again and again 

 

when you walk out

you feel like you’re starting something
