Shall I Leave

Shall I leave? the wounded me, the enchanted me?
And this handled heart with a chain of curses 
Shall I take it with me?
For better dead than held within a skinny love
Seeking another land was a hope 
But then turned to be my favorite nightmare
The other land would be green 
But its where the roots have died and taken off
Its where no shelter has been set for the cold
Where the lights have never been turned on
For better unseen than tortured by your stormy eyes
Shall I soothe your solid life and be the abandoned one ?
Just as your cravings are for the departure of me
I could be the stone that you can throw it into the well of sighs
For better unheard than muddling your balanced sea
So shall I leave before darkness perches upon your lonely heart
I could be wherever your longing me to be
For better my name  faded and better you freed
