Bitter Sweet Truth

Have you ever had to say goodbye to someone you loved? Torn between staying and remaining in your toxic cycle or breaking yours and their heart by saying good-bye...

Staying hurt,

Leaving hurt,

It was a matter of what would hurt less with time.

My heart broke,

As the words came out,

I can’t do this anymore.

No going back,

It’s real now,

The end is in motion.

It’s a rollercoaster,

Shame and guilt fills me,

Relief and freedom flood me.

Memories flash,

Our smiles make my heart heavy,

Our tears shatter my soul.

A bitter truth becomes clearer,

One we can no longer deny,

Be strong and say it.

We love each other,

But we don’t fit right,

We aren’t in love anymore.

Yes,

Staying hurt,

And leaving hurts.

But we will heal,

We will be happy,

Just not together.

I’m sorry,

I love you forever and a day,

But it’s time to move on.
