Haven't I done enough already?

I can't believe we waited til it got this bad

Though tonight, I'd give anything to kiss you asleep

Again I sit here, wondering where I'll go

Now that this chapter of my life has mutually concluded

It's so hard when you're not around

While I'm spending my evening tearing up these pictures

I'm sitting here, deciding what I'll do

Because I feel like getting fucked up and f*****g up everything

I wonder if you actually feel this bad, too

Or if I have given you any reason to hate me by now

Just promise me you'll be safe

And that you'll refrain from messing up the ways I have

Let me let you go, baby

And never ask about my day, or if I'm feeling all right

Don't ever let me see you cry

And please tell him to hold you tight while I'm away

The pain in this poem was strikingly potent, the wears of the relationship evident with each phrase. There is a selflessness and strength of character exhibited though that is to be commended. For though you are hurting you still want your significant other to be happy, to be safe. You hold this strong throughout in the undercurrents of this poem. Keep that aspect of yourself, it is a wonderful thing, and very rare in today's society.

great write.

Wow... this was elegantly painful. The raw power of your words were truly awesome! I know many of us, if not all of us, can relate to these emotions.

Great work!
