Just Walk Away (How do I) by De'La McClendon



How do I just walk away

from the love that we’ve gained

from the life that we’ve made

tell me....

How do I just walk away.

 

How do I just walk away.

have no thoughts left to say.

how do I call it quits?

pretend our love no longer fits.

how do I walk away.

how do I just walk away.

 

This just cannot be the end

this love was not pretend

so how do I walk away.

don’t you care ‘bout my heart?!

how can you stand to be apart.

please tell me.... how

do I walk away.

 

How do I just walk away.

have no thoughts left to say.

how do I call it quits?

pretend our love no longer fits.

how do I walk away.

how do I just walk away.

 

I refuse for it to be over

there is no other lover

there’s no way to start again

I thought that we were the best of friends

 

So how

 

How did you just walk away.

have no thought left to stay.

how did you call it quits?

claim our love no longer fits.

how did you walk away.

how could you just walk away.

  1. You really evoke the heartache that follows a breakup, De'La. I hope you don't have to go through this again.

  2. This really seems like a song to me, De'La. There was a definite rhythm in the words; that's a sign for me of heartfelt poetry. I really liked reading this; it made me sad just looking at it--you definitely have a way with words!
