I'm not letting you go

he said

I keep quiet for a moment

as thoughts swirl around my head

I fight to find the right

words to say

you hurt me

you hurt me everyday

I'm not happy with you

can't you see?

can't you tell being with you

is killing me?

looking into his eyes with

fear and rage

I'm sure he knows how much

my heart has paid

I still love you

I want to make things work

he says to me

which only makes me feel worse

my love for him has dissepated

into thin air

he stopped being good to me

I didn't think he cared

I say

I've done this all before

I've packed my bags

walked right out the door

he said

but you came back to me

don't you think that

we are meant to be

I shake my head and

walk away

still fighting with myself

for the words to say

I had no choice

I thought you would change

I thought you would

wipe all my fears away

but you took while I gave

never looking back

giving my heart yet

another attack

I can't take it anymore

you have to let me be

I'm in pain, I want to die

what is it going to take

for you to see?

he dropped down to his knees

tears in his eyes

then said softly

to my surprise

I didn't mean to hurt you

maybe I loved you too much

I will miss your laugh, your smile

and most of all your touch

but I see this is beyond fixing

and I do want you to be happy

there's the door

go ahead...you can leave

I breathed a sigh of relief

though a little sad

I said

we had history, made a life together

I will miss what we had

but I have to live life without you

maybe I will have a chance

to be truly happy

I hope that you understand...
