Learn

I have to learn how

to leave you,

learn that i don't need you,

learn that you don't love me,

learn how not to be your hubby.

I have to teach my lungs

that without you

we CAN still breathe,

teach my heart the

difference between want

and need,

i have to stop letting

my soul feed,

on the tainted love that

you give me.

I must does things

on my own,

i can't be locked

away like some princess

with nary a phone,

i must achieve my

goal for myself,

and i must do it without

your help.

When i'm gone you

may hate me,

you may chase me,

but you can't erase me,

and i hope that when i leave,

your heart does what mine did,

and drives you crazy.
