i can't stand the goo-goo dolls......not to fond of creed either.....but you can't really choose where you find inspiriation....so.....the piece itself was powerful.....albeit a little vague...i think you did that on purpose.....never be afraid to try new styles.......i do it all the time usually with mixed responses.....can't always express yourself the same way....makes people get bored....it also brings writers block along more quickly........

Reach inside me, to see I’m bare.
Allow you to fake those emotions
But I’ll just save us both the time

^now i have a good idea what you meant in these lines but i also got a different direction from this........seems she wants something he can't/won't give her.....so she tells him to leave......you could also say he wants a baby and she can't make herself love him enough to say yes.......this sounds a lot like fights me and an ex used to have.....only in reverse....

glad to see you dropping more cal.........another really great piece

respect....
