Venting: I Can't Do This

The worries of the heart

I can’t do this. I can’t do this. Don’t make me let go of you.

 

I can’t handle even the thought of it. It gives me chills and stops my heart, brings tears to my eyes and makes me want to scream. The mere idea of it makes me feel like a storm is about to take place inside of me and rip me from the inside out, hollowing me out and destroying my heart. A tremble of the lip, hid by a smile and a laugh and a shake of the head.

 

Those piercing words from friends, “You should let go.” They pierce like ice into my soul, a stake to the heart. Hearing the confirmation of my deepest fears from my closet friends, marked by the sickening worry that they’re right. But I keep a straight face and try to hide the emotions in my eyes as I shake off the words and pretend they were never spoken.

 

So, let me hold on to you. Let me hold on and never let go. Even if it’s pointless, the pain is worth those few moments, so let me hold on and never let go.
