Why can't it stay
Why won't it last
Where does it go
It leaves me so fast
I try to hold it
And make it stay
When it is here
It makes things okay
But when it is gone
I want to die
I lay there at night
And shake and cry
Soon I give in
I finally crack
I break down
And bring it back
But when I get it
It makes people mad
But I hate crying
I don't want to be sad
In this case
One of us will lose
But in the end
I get to choose
If I win
The pain I get
But this will leave you
Frustrated and upset
On the other hand
I could let you win
Hold myself back
And avoid giving in
But if I choose
To let it go
There's one other thing
You ought to know
If it goes
So will my life
For it takes my strength
To deal with life's strife
So now I leave
The option up to you
Which would you
Like me to do
